The launch will be followed by rollouts in Canada, Germany, Austria and Switzerland during 2023, taking its total number of markets to 16. Viaplay is already available in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland, and is also due to launch in the US and the Netherlands.
At launch, the service’s offering in the five new markets will comprise of both original and acquired local and international series, films, and documentaries.
CEO Anders Jensen said: “We have stepped up the pace and scale of Viaplay’s international expansion.
“We have acquired virtually all of the international sports rights that we targeted and for multiple cycles in several cases; added one more market to our roll-out ambition; signed innovative partnership agreements; and raised the bar when it comes to our investments in original content.”
