Tubi Scales U.K. Offering

Tubi has significantly expanded its content lineup in the U.K., bringing a further 1,000 movies and TV episodes to its free on-demand library.

The Fox Corporation-owned AVOD service has been in market in the U.K. for last than a year, launching last July with 20,000 movies and episodes. It now carries over 40,000. Its latest acquisitions hail from AMC Networks, Lionsgate, NBCUniversal, New Regency and Sony Pictures Entertainment.

“Since launching nearly a year ago in the U.K., Tubi has doubled its library size, cementing its position as offering the biggest collection of free movies and TV series in the U.K.,” said Ross Appleton, general manager for the U.K. at Tubi. “With rising costs and fragmentation in streaming, Tubi will continue to offer viewers extensive content choice and a highly personalized viewing experience. All for free.”

“In building our content portfolio in the U.K., we considered early signals and dove deep into performance data to determine which genres and content types to lean into,” said Sam Harowitz, senior VP of content acquisitions and partnerships at Tubi. “With these latest studio library deals, we have further invested in robust existing partnerships and doubled down on providing fandoms with a deep catalogue of movies and TV series across top-performing genres such as horror, action, thrillers, and comedies.”
