Viaplay Launching On Prime Video Channels After Shutting Down U.S. Streaming App


Viaplay has struck a deal to launch a subscription channel on Prime Video Channels, offering originals such as 'Börje – The Journey of a Legend'.

The development comes after Viaplay closed its subscription streaming app in North America after a turbulent 2023 in which the Sweden-based company made 25% of its staff redundant and restructured around a package of sports rights and unscripted content. Other upcoming titles include season two of action thriller Furia, World War II feature film Gold Run and Murderesses, an adaptation of Katarzyna Bonda’s true-crime book following a police officer uncovering treacherous family secrets. “This shows the universal appeal of high-quality Nordic and European content and will make these titlesmore accessible to viewers across the United States than ever before, including Viaplay’s record-setting Swedish-English drama series Börje – The Journey of a Legend coming May 2.
