Ziggo and SkyShowtime today announced a wide-ranging distribution agreement that will bring SkyShowtime to millions of additional households in the Netherlands. The deal represents SkyShowtime’s first Multichannel Video Programming Distributor (MVPD) relationship in the Dutch market, with Ziggo launching the SkyShowtime app on its platform today.

Ziggo customers can subscribe to SkyShowtime directly via Ziggo and start watching on the Mediabox Next and Next Mini. With the Voice Control-function on the remote, customers can easily find all content available on the SkyShowtime app. Searching for movies, series or actors is also possible directly from the main menu or while watching live TV.

Robin Kroes, Executive Director of Consumer Markets at VodafoneZiggo, said: “Introducing SkyShowtime is an important step in bringing together all big streaming services for Ziggo customers. Customers can quickly find and easily watch all their favorite titles in the best quality on our platform. This way, customers can enjoy a distinguishing entertainment-experience at Ziggo.”

SkyShowtime CEO Monty Sarhan said: “SkyShowtime is excited to build this new partnership with Ziggo, which marks our first MVPD deal in the Netherlands. As a streaming service created specifically for Europe, SkyShowtime is committed to working with distributors to serve subscribers. We are excited to work with the Ziggo team to bring our incredible line up of exclusive entertainment to their customers — all at an amazing price.”

Ziggo customers can subscribe to SkyShowtime and enjoy new and exclusive films and series—including the latest theatrical releases from Universal and Paramount and leading global series. At launch, subscribers will be able to enjoy hits such as Jurassic World Dominion, Minions: The Rise of Gru, and the blockbuster film Top Gun: Maverick. Additional movies on the service include Ambulance, The Black Phone, Nope, The Northman, and Smile.  

SkyShowtime also features big new series from the Taylor Sheridan universe including all five seasons of Yellowstone, Dutton Family origin stories 1883 and 1923, Mayor of Kingstown, and Tulsa King. SkyShowtime is also the home of big sci-fi franchise series Halo and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and a wide range of other leading series including Fatal Attraction, Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies, Rabbit Hole, and Yellowjackets.  

Henriette Skov, SkyShowtime Regional General Manager for Northern Europe added: “The Netherlands is a very important market for SkyShowtime and Ziggo is a key partner. Working with them, we have created an integrated and seamless entertainment experience that their subscribers will enjoy.”

Customers can get their SkyShowtime subscription directly through Ziggo meaning their subscription fee is billed via one single invoice. Customers can keep track of their streaming service subscriptions and turn them on and off via My Ziggo, which is useful for customers now that they combine more and more different streaming services. SkyShowtime is priced at €6.99 per month.
