FOX+ Gets German Launch

Fox Networks Group (FNG) Europe and Africa is rolling out the FOX+ platform in Germany, where Deutsche Telekom has become the first partner.

FOX+ offers full series and seasons on-demand, providing access to the content library from 21st Century Fox. It will be available via Deutsche Telekom’s new series package for EntertainTV subscribers from October 4. Series available at launch include seasons one through seven of The Walking Dead, seasons one and two of Wayward Pines, seasons one and two of Last Man on Earth, How I Met Your Mother seasons one through nine and Buffy seasons one through seven.

Germany is the seventh market to offer FOX+ to customers, following deals in France, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland and Greece, with more markets to launch before the end of the year.

“Our strategy to extend the FOX brand into the nonlinear space and deliver a premium, on demand entertainment service with world-class content is resonating with both our affiliate partners and consumers,” said Diego Londono, the COO of Fox Networks Group Europe and Africa. “As we bring FOX+ to another key territory, the results we are seeing from the product are surpassing our expectations, and we’re thrilled to be partnering with Deutsche Telekom, the leading telco in the region, for our debut in Germany.”
