BritBox U.K., the streaming service joint venture of ITV and the BBC, said on Monday that it would launch on Amazon Prime Video Channels this spring.
The streamer will become available to Prime members in Britain with an add-on subscription.
“BritBox U.K. offers subscribers the biggest collection of British box sets, starring the finest homegrown talent and series, including Broadchurch, Downton Abbey, Vera, Only Fools and Horses, and Love Island, and original exclusive content, including Spitting Image, which will return for a second season later this year,” the partners said.
Will Harrison, BritBox U.K.’s managing director, said: “We are excited to bring the very best British entertainment to an even wider audience through Amazon Prime Video Channels, especially as we launch even more original content in the spring, summer and beyond.”
Added Julian Monaghan, director of Amazon Prime Video Channels Europe: “BritBox is a great addition to our selection of entertainment on Prime Video Channels, giving customers even more choice to find the TV series they love.”
BritBox joins Prime Video Channels’ lineup of more than 70 channels in the U.K., including live and on-demand entertainment and sports. Amazon emphasized that the channels are “available as individual subscriptions, with no need to sign up to a bundle and anytime cancellation.”
BritBox U.K. costs £5.99 ($8.28) per month and also includes content from Channel 4 and ViacomCBS’ Channel 5 and Comedy Central U.K.
