Starz announced the rollout of the all-new international Starzplay app in Brazil, France, Germany, Mexico and the UK with plans to launch an additional 20 countries in 2020.

“Starz has experienced great success with the Starz app domestically, remaining ahead of the streaming curve with more than 5.6 million OTT customers to date, and that number continues to climb,” commented Jeffrey A. Hirsch, CEO of Starz. “Expanding our direct-to-consumer product into the global arena with the launch of the Starzplay app gives subscribers seamless entry to our platform and premium content on their device of choice, while also providing us with access to key consumer data insights as we continue to position ourselves for success in the evolving content ecosystem.”

For approximately US$5 per month, subscribers in select countries have the opportunity to enjoy instant access to hundreds of movies and series, including Starz Originals.

The app allows up to four users to watch simultaneously and enjoy offline downloads of select shows and movies. Starz subscribers from Totalplay (Mexico) can currently authenticate and stream content using the Starzplay app.
