SkyShowtime Completes European Roll-Out

SkyShowtime completes European roll-out

New European streaming service will complete its expansion across Europe with final launches announced in Spain and Andorra on 28 February

Final launches complete the roll-out of SkyShowtime across more than 20 markets, bringing a diverse selection of incredible entertainment, including new, exclusive and original series from the world’s greatest studios

SkyShowtime will have completed its roll-out across all markets in just five months


SkyShowtime - the next great streaming service for Europe - will complete its successful European roll-out in 2023, bringing its premium offering to its final markets of Spain and Andorra on 28 February. The streaming service, which received full regulatory approval in February of 2022, will have launched across more than 20 markets in just five months.

SkyShowtime’s roll-out began in September 2022 when the service debuted in the Nordics, launching across Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden. SkyShowtime then brought its premium offering of first-run Hollywood films and exclusive new series from the world’s greatest studios to The Netherlands and Portugal in October. Following an exclusive launch event in Amsterdam attended by international celebrities in November, SkyShowtime ended 2022 by entering Central & Eastern Europe for the first time, launching in Bosnia & Herzegovonia, Bulgaria, Croatia, Montenegro, Serbia and Slovenia in December.

Today, SkyShowtime has launched across the rest of its Central & Eastern European markets including Albania, Czechia, Hungary, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Poland, Romania, and Slovakia. The launch of the service in Spain and Andorra on 28 February will complete SkyShowtime’s successful roll-out.


Today, SkyShowtime also announced two Spanish-language SkyShowtime Originals that will be hitting the service shortly, the highly anticipated Bosé and Los Enviados. Additionally, the company announced that several new and exclusive series will be premiering on SkyShowtime over the coming months including Fatal Attraction and Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies, along with A Town Called Malice, Lioness, Rabbit Hole. Yellowstone S5 Part B will also be premiering in the coming months.

Last month, in a major programming acquisition deal, SkyShowtime also announced it had acquired exclusive rights across all of Europe to 21 HBO Max European Originals, including 168 episodes of original scripted programming. Three never-seen-before shows, will be branded as SkyShowtime Originals and will have their world premieres on SkyShowtime. These include ID (Finland and Sweden), The Winner (Czechia and Slovakia), and Warszawianka (Poland). Additionally, the second season of Por H o Por B (Spain) will also premiere on SkyShowtime. The acquisition accelerates SkyShowtime’s entry into original programming and will bolster forthcoming local content offerings across all of its territories.

In addition to being available direct-to-consumer via the website: www.skyshowtime.com and via the SkyShowtime app on Apple iOS, tvOS, Android devices, Android TV, Google Chromecast and LG TV, SkyShowtime has today also announced a partnership with Samsung. From 14 February, customers across all markets will be able to watch SkyShowtime through select Samsung Smart TVs*.

SkyShowtime CEO Monty Sarhan said: “In the space of just five months, SkyShowtime has launched in over 20 markets across Europe. I’m extremely proud of the entire team who have worked so hard to make this a reality. We are dedicated to these markets and excited to bring new customers the entertainment they love at a price they will love. From the latest series and blockbuster movies from our iconic and world-renowned studios to original programming, SkyShowtime is the next great streaming service for Europe.”

Created specifically for Europe, SkyShowtime has teams across six regional offices. Its apps and content will be available in 18 different languages across its markets.

SkyShowtime offers its customers access to exclusive television premieres of first-run theatrical films from Universal Pictures and Paramount Pictures, new and exclusive scripted series, kids and family content and a selection of iconic library titles and box sets from Nickelodeon, DreamWorks Animation, Paramount+, SHOWTIME®, Sky Studios and Peacock - all streaming in one place.

The necessity and impact of this event has attracted the attention of some of the region’s top officials, including Mayor Andre Dickens. In support of Mayor Dicken’s “Year of the Youth”, Mr. Anderson is kicking off the event in the metro-Atlanta area.

Headliner for Atlanta Dreamfest is “That Girl Lay Lay” who was recently nominated for Favorite Kids TV Show, along with KD DA KID, Young Dylan, The Wicker Twinz, Kaci The Model, FATCAT, DJ Sophia Rocks and Kylie Marshall.

J.J. Villard Talks About Designing The 'TMNT: Mutant Mayhem' Logo

J.J. Villard, the creator of the cult series King Star King, recently spoke to ComingSoon about what it was like to design the official logo for Nickelodeon and Paramount's upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, Mutant Mayhem!


When asked what was the biggest thrill of getting to work on the iconic TMNT franchise and give his own logo treatment to it, Villard revealed: "Dude, that was an email that … I get a lot of freelance emails, but Turtles meant so much to me as a kid. So when Nickelodeon hit me up to do the f**king new logo for the new Turtles?! I mean, this is going to be all over the packaging of toys and t-shirts, and already is! We got sent a Christmas gift from Nickelodeon with a sweater with the logo on it, but I’m like … Turtles is bigger than life for me, you know? So it meant a lot to me to do the new Turtles logo.

"I gave them so much more work than they needed. Like, they wrote me, 'Holy smokes, we did not expect this.' I was like, 'Look, I want it to be perfect. This is why you guys are getting all this work. Just pick what you love.' There was one I thought they were going to absolutely pick, but they didn’t. I’ll tell you what it was. So it said Mutant, right? And the “t” for the Mutant was Raphael’s [sai]. It was the letter “t” and I colored it in the same brown as the toy packaging back in the day — that brown that they used to have. I thought they were guaranteed going to pick that one, but they picked the one they did. But they said they really did like that one, but it was cool."

In Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, after years of being sheltered from the human world, the Turtle brothers set out to win the hearts of New Yorkers and be accepted as normal teenagers through heroic acts. Their new friend April O’Neil helps them take on a notorious crime syndicate, but they soon get in over their heads when an army of mutants is unleashed upon them. The film is produced by Seth Rogen and is set to be released in theaters on August 4, 2023.
