Lionsgate & LG Launch FAST Channels for Top Franchises

Lionsgate is partnering with LG Channels to introduce new free ad-supported streaming (FAST) channels in the U.S. and Canada. By the close of 2026, fans can anticipate dedicated channels for highly popular franchises such as The Hunger Games, Saw, and John Wick. This initiative also includes the launch of channels for Rookie Blue and Ghosts, alongside a medical drama channel named Pulse and the general Lionsgate Network.

The Hunger Games franchise will see its existing five films featured on a dedicated FAST channel, making a return after a previous successful pop-up. This launch precedes the upcoming theatrical release of "The Hunger Games: The Sunrise on the Reaping." The Saw series is set to receive its first standalone FAST channel, offering all eight existing movies in time for Halloween, with a tenth film already in development.

Furthermore, the action-packed John Wick series will debut its own FAST channel, providing access to all four currently released films as a fifth installment is in the works. Matthew Durgin, Vice President of Media Entertainment Services North America, highlighted that these curated, limited-time viewing events enhance discoverability and enjoyment of premium content for free on LG Channels.
