Fisk, a comedy series that looks at life in a small suburban law firm, has been sold to ITV in the U.K. and is set to stream through ITVX from August 10.

Between January and August of this year, Australians streamed 24 billion minutes of premium online video, 35 percent of all online content consumption, according to Media Partners Asia (MPA).

Netflix had a dominant 33 percent share of Australian SVOD subscribers as of September 2021, and a 38 percent share of SVOD streaming minutes in the first nine months of this year, according to new Media Partners Asia (MPA) data.

New research from Media Partners Asia (MPA) indicates that online video advertising and subscription revenues in Australia will rise from $2.9 billion this year to $5.3 billion in 2025, a 13 percent compound annual growth rate (CAGR).

More than half of Australians over the age of 15 pay for at least one SVOD service, according to AMPD Research, a subsidiary of Media Partners Asia, with Netflix alone having 5.3 million customers.

The subscription television market—including SVOD—is the fastest-growing segment in Australia's entertainment and media sector, PwC reports.

Australians last week watched a record 175 million minutes of broadcast-TV content on mobiles, laptops, tablets and other connected devices, with home-grown dramas proving a particularly popular genre, according to official OzTAM Video Player Measurement (VPM) figures.
