Free streaming television service Pluto TV has revealed a new partnership with NBCUniversal (NBCU) Global TV Distribution to bring a range of comedy, dramedy, iconic action, and fan favourites to viewers in the UK and Canada, starting November 1st, 2024.
In Canada, Pluto TV will introduce all seasons of critically acclaimed Will & Grace as the crown jewel of the ‘More Pluto TV Comedy’ channel, alongside other comedies such as Becker, Wings, and Dear John.
In the UK, Pluto TV is bringing the much talked about, not-so-‘hidden gem’ Psych to its brand new Pluto TV Comedy Drama channel. All seasons of the series will be available on Pluto TV for free for all fans of the dramedy genre. The channel will also showcase light-hearted action dramas such as Scorpion and comedies including The Millers and The Odd Couple.
Additionally, Pluto TV is launching two new dedicated channels in the UK and Canada: PLUTO TV 80s Action and PLUTO TV Sci-Fi.
PLUTO TV 80s Action will feature NBCU’s action-packed nostalgic hits The A-Team, Knight Rider, and Miami Vice.
PLUTO TV Sci-Fi (known as PLUTO TV Sci-Fi Series in the UK) will showcase NBCU’s intergalactic favourites Quantum Leap, Sliders, and Battlestar Galactica.
Starting in November, PLUTO TV 80s Action will kick off with The A-Team, and PLUTO TV Sci-Fi with Quantum Leap.
“Partnerships are our superpower, and collaborating with industry leaders like NBCUniversal not only brings legendary titles to our platform, but also helps strengthen the FAST business, giving our fans access to the content they love,” commented Olivier Jollet, Executive Vice President and International General Manager at Pluto TV. “With a strong affinity for comedy among our audiences in the UK and Canada, we’re thrilled to deliver a treasure trove of comedic content.”
