SBS On Demand relaunches as exciting new content destination
SBS is thrilled to announce that its online streaming service SBS On Demand has relaunched today with a new responsive website and an exciting mix of fresh and exclusive content.
SBS On Demand is available on 22 platforms - more than any other Australian broadcaster - and is now the home of content that can only be experienced on the streaming service, including premiere titles and curated collections, all of which will be free for all Australians.
The new SBS On Demand offers more than 600 top quality films from around the globe and for the first time ever will also offer over 350 feature documentaries and factual programs.
Michael Ebeid, SBS Managing Director, said: Launched in 2011 as an online catch up service, SBS On Demand has grown to be a go-to content destination, now with more than 4000 hours of premium content available to all Australians. It is a true representation of the quality drama, documentary and film on offer from SBS that goes to the heart of our special Charter, and provides Australians with an enviable range of distinctive content available anytime, on any device, absolutely free, in a way only SBS can.
Marshall Heald, Director of TV and Online at SBS said: SBS On Demand is a unique offering in the competitive subscription streaming market. As audience consumption habits continue to change, SBS On Demand is central to SBS's commitment to exploring and celebrating diversity through inspired entertainment using cutting edge technology.
The SBS On Demand website is fully responsive and will scale down to any device that it is accessed from, allowing for an interface that is easy to navigate, and also showcases the fabulous content on offer.
Over the coming months, SBS On Demand's content offering will include season three of groundbreaking series Rectify, express from the US and exclusively premiered on the streaming service, ahead of the television broadcast. Other drama content includes Bosch and Masters of Sex, which will have an exclusive preview screening of their first episodes on SBS On Demand, as well as catch-up titles such as The Principal, 12 Monkeys and Glue.
The new documentary slate features a huge array of documentaries from award-winning filmmaker Alex Gibney in the Alex Gibney Collection including Sinatra: All or Nothing at All; Mr Dynamite: The Rise of James Brown; Freakonomics, Gonzo and Finding Fela!
SBS On Demand is also pleased to bring Australian audiences seasons one and two of Skint, an insightful docu-series that explores the intimate stories of people living with the effects of long term unemployment in one of Britains most deprived areas.
Other documentary and factual content available for catch up includes Struggle Street, with all three episodes that aired on SBS One in May available again on SBS On Demand exclusively, along with seasons one and two of Go Back To Where You Came From ahead of its season three return to SBS in July.
The extensive SBS On Demand movie library spans all genres, from martial arts epics and high-octane action thrillers, to heart-warming French romantic comedies and some of the greatest examples of recent international cinema. SBS On Demand also features some of the best new voices in queer cinema and indulgent guilty pleasures such as B-Grade schlock horror.
Over the coming months, SBS On Demand will offer hand-picked movie collections featuring some of the greatest films from across the globe, ranging from The Rocket to The Hunt in the Best of the World Collection; The Way of the Dragon to IP Man in the Martial Arts Mayhem Collection; breathtaking titles such as Amelie and Rust and Bone in the French Film Collection; and quirkier, independent features such as Lena Dunham's Tiny Furniture and Frances Ha in the Hipsters Collection.
Along with these curated collections, SBS On Demand has a huge array of back-catalogue films including Exit Through The Gift Shop, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Touching the Void, Drop Dead Gorgeous, Pan's Labyrinth, Let the Right One in, and many, many more.
