SPI/FilmBox Expands Dizi Reach in MENA

Dizi will be available in Arabic on the products PlayVOD, Veedz and Unlimited Streaming in Morocco, Egypt, Tunisia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Oman.

The new deal builds on an existing partnership between SPI and Digital Virgo, which made FilmBox Africa, FilmBox Arthouse, Gametoon and FightBox available in multiple countries in Africa last year.

“We are pleased to expand our partnership with Digital Virgo to bring some of the most popular series to both existing and potential Turkish series enthusiasts in MENA,” said Georgina Twiss, managing director of Western Europe and Africa at SPI International.

Achraf Ammour, sales director for the African market at Digital Virgo, added, “Premium content is essential to the success of our offer. We are pleased to continue this partnership with Dizi, bringing another deal on the table with added-value Turkish series—locally adapted content that meets the needs of the viewers in MENA.”
