Disney+ Strikes French Content Deal
3 Sep
Summary
- Disney+ adds hundreds of episodes from Groupe M6 shows.
- Seven-day preview window before linear transmission included.
- Deal expands Disney+'s local content offerings in France.
Disney+ has deepened its presence in France by signing a content agreement with Groupe M6. This collaboration will bring several hundred episodes from four flagship French shows to the streaming service. Shows such as 'Scènes de Ménages' and 'En Famille' became available on September 25, with 'Mariés au Premier Regard' and 'The Power: Qui a le Pouvoir?' set to follow next year.
A notable feature of this deal is a seven-day preview window, allowing select programs to be viewed on Disney+ before their scheduled linear broadcast. This initiative distinguishes it from previous content-sharing agreements Disney has made in other European countries.
The partnership is mutually beneficial. Groupe M6 anticipates reaching a broader 15-34 demographic, while Disney+ enhances its catalog with high-quality, family-friendly French programming. This move aligns with Disney+'s strategy to increase local content across Europe.
