Sky has announced the launch of a bundle combining many of the major streaming services.
In what the company said is a world-first, Sky will offer a package bringing together Netflix, Disney+, Hayu and HBO Max under a single Sky TV subscription.
Under a new, multi-year agreement between Sky and Disney in the UK and Ireland, eligible customers will have access to Disney+ content included in their subscriptions. An expanded partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery will extend the availability of HBO shows to Sky’s customers from 26th March.
Reality TV programmes from Hayu, including new episodes of The Real Housewives and Below Deck, will be included in the Sky subscription from July.
The expanded content range will be powered by the Sky OS platform, with shows from Sky and other apps curated in a single place to enhance discoverability, said the company. Shows and movies will appear together in the personalised Top Picks rail on the homepage. Playlists will enable the saving of favourites in one place and everything will be integrated with Sky voice control.
Sophia Ahmad, chief consumer officer at Sky, said, “This marks a new era for Sky and NOW. In a world-first, we’re bringing together Sky, Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max and Hayu into a single Sky TV subscription. Nowhere else offers this breadth of incredible entertainment in a fully integrated experience, with everything customers love watching side by side so viewers can jump from show to show with ease.
“We’re proud to continue Sky’s legacy of innovation, making it easier than ever for people to enjoy the very best entertainment and best experience, all in one place.”
