Samsung TV Plus Launches Jodha Akbar Channel in France

Samsung TV Plus has partnered with Zee Entertainment UK to launch the single-IP channel Jodha Akbar, featuring episodes of the Jodha Akbar historical drama, in France.

The new channel extends Zee’s reach in France, where it has already launched the Zee One French channel.

This marks Zee’s eighth channel launch in Europe.

“Jodha Akbar is one of the most acclaimed and watched shows on Zee internationally,” said Amit Goenka, president of international and digital businesses at Zee Entertainment. “It has been dubbed and subtitled in multiple languages and has been watched for millions of hours by viewers across the world. To continue our legacy of building bridges between languages, cultures and communities, we are bringing another partnership with Samsung TV Plus to experience the magic of Jodha Akbar as an exclusive single-IP channel.”

Antoine Chotard, country lead for France and MENA at Samsung TV Plus, added, “Teaming up with Zee allows us to bring Jodha Akbar, a truly iconic and culturally rich series, to Samsung TV Plus in France. We’re excited to launch this remarkable IP on the service and look forward to the channel’s success in the French market.”
