JustWatch TV to launch in October

Our friends at JustWatch have sent over details regarding their new streaming service with content partners that include Paramount, New Regency and Bleecker Street.

On Tuesday, the JustWatch Group, operator of the world's largest streaming guide, announced the launch of JustWatch TV, a new streaming service available directly inside the JustWatch apps and website.

Launching next month across the United States & Canada, the UK & Ireland, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, Italy, Spain, Australia and New Zealand. JustWatch TV will offer free ad-supported viewing, transactional rental options, and an ad-free subscription-based option.

JustWatch TV content launch partners include Paramount, New Regency, Fremantle, Bleecker Street and Vortex Media, among many others to be announced on the new service.

The launch marks a significant expansion for the JustWatch Group, which has spent more than a decade helping over 50 million monthly users discover what they want to watch across more than 1,500 streaming services worldwide. With JustWatch TV, the company is using that unique demand intelligence and consumer insights to build a catalog around real audience appetite.

"Every day, millions of people come to JustWatch searching for simpler ways to watch and discover hundreds of thousands of movies and TV shows,” says David Croyé, Founder and CEO of the JustWatch Group. "For over a decade, our mission has been to connect fans with their favorite films and shows, particularly the hard-to-find and previously unavailable titles. With the launch of JustWatch TV, we aim to make content discovery, access and engagement even easier."

JustWatch TV will offer a unique model that both encourages consumers to discover titles and watch them directly on JustWatch, or on their preferred streaming services across the world. Quentin Carbonell, JustWatch’s SVP of Global Content Acquisitions and Strategy, adds, "JustWatch TV is designed to meet that demand head-on, offering a straightforward solution at a time of fragmentation. We are curating film and TV hits and hard-to-find gems that you can watch for free or rent on JustWatch, or easily rediscover them on your favorite services. This way, JustWatch TV aims to support the whole industry, from filmmakers to distributors to streaming platforms across the world."

Because JustWatch TV will be integrated directly into the existing JustWatch apps and website, users move from browsing to watching available titles without switching platforms or creating new accounts. The service will be made available next month to all existing JustWatch users across launch markets.

Rebecca Romijn on Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' third season is currently streaming exclusively on Paramount+. After a two-year hiatus between seasons, I couldn't miss it, so I resubscribed!

Our friends at JustWatch recently talked to Rebecca Romijn (X-Men) about the enduring appeal of the Star Trek franchise.

JustWatch spoke with Rebecca Romijn, who plays Number One in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, about the show's unique appeal to both new and longtime fans of the franchise. As part of our Why to Watch campaign—spotlighting exclusive cast insights to help viewers discover meaningful stories—Romijn shared why Strange New Worlds stands out as a must-watch.

Rebecca Romijn on Why Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is a Must-Watch

“I think that Star Trek is an important show for anyone to watch, in terms of the way that it promotes a sense of hopefulness and optimism for the future.

If you’re not familiar with Star Trek, Strange New Worlds is the perfect gateway series to start with—except maybe the original series. It’s a mission-of-the-week show, and you don’t need much background on Star Trek to watch it. It’s a great starting point that appeals to many generations, a great show for kids to watch with parents and grandparents.”

About Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

Set in the decade before Captain Kirk’s command, Strange New Worlds follows Captain Christopher Pike and his crew—including Romijn’s Number One—as they explore new planets aboard the USS Enterprise. With a return to the franchise’s episodic roots and emphasis on moral storytelling, the series has earned critical praise for being both refreshing and faithful to Star Trek’s core themes.

Rebecca Romijn is a longtime fan-favourite with a diverse career in both film and television. She rose to prominence as Mystique in the original X-Men trilogy and has starred in Ugly Betty, The Librarians, and Femme Fatale.
