Samsung TV Plus is Samsung's own free, on-demand video streaming service that comes pre-installed on all new TVs from the company. The South Korean firm is continuously adding more channels and content to its TV series over the past two years. Today, it has been announced that three new channels are coming to Samsung TV Plus.
Endemol Shine Group, a British-Dutch production and distribution company, announced earlier today that it is bringing three channels to Samsung TV Plus. Two of those channels—Deal or No Deal and Sterling Drama—are coming to Samsung's video streaming service in the US, while scripted drama channel Der Serienkanal will be available in Germany.
Sterling Drama has been available on Samsung TV Plus in the US since last week, and it brings British titles, including Hamish Macbeth, The Hour, and The Mill. Deal or No Deal will launch on Samsung TV Plus in the US soon, and it will bring the US version of hit game show hosted by Howie Mandel.
Der Serienkanal, which was launched on Samsung TV Plus in Germany last week, brings various shows, including Peaky Blinders, Real Humans, and Gracepoint. In November 2019, Endemol Shine Group had launched three channels—All Drama, Masters of Food, and Reel Truth—on Samsung TV Plus in the UK.
Kasia Jablonska, Endemol Shine Group's head of digital distribution and monetization, said, “We are very pleased to expand this strategic partnership with Samsung TV into new markets, which is a testament to both strength of Endemol Shine's catalog and Samsung TV's position in OTT market.”
