Dubai-based pay-TV operator OSN has extended its agreement with Warner Bros for ‘first and exclusive’ Hollywood content across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA).
The deal – which encompasses the US studio’s films and TV series – runs until 2020, the companies said in a statement.
“OSN has quickly become as the top-rated and fastest growing pay-TV network in the MENA region, one of the key markets for Warner Bros. Through this deal, we will deliver our premium content spanning hit movies, popular TV series to OSN’s subscribers exclusively,” said Jeffrey Schlesinger, president, Warner Bros Worldwide Television Distribution.
Included in the deal are hit movies Gravity, Interstellar, The Lego Movie and 300: Rise of an Empire, along with the franchises The Hangover, Superman and The Hobbit. While those to come include Mad Max: Fury Road, The Man From U.N.C.L.E., Entourage, Batman v. Superman and the entire Justice League franchise.
OSN aims to offer some key TV shows at the ‘same minute’ as they premiere in the US, continuing to air The Flash, Supernatural, 2 Broke Girls, Two and a Half Men and The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
OSN subscribers can access all of Warner Bros content in full HD on both OSN pay-TV channels and on catch-up basis via OSN On Demand and OSN Play online platforms.
Khulud Abu Homos, OSN’s executive vice president for programming, said: “Through the agreement, OSN becomes the ultimate home for top-notch, exclusive Hollywood entertainment for the next five years. We will be the first to telecast blockbuster movies from Warner Bros in our region following their theatrical release, providing unmatched value for our subscribers.”
