Epix, the premium TV network owned by MGM, has launched Epix Now, the network’s streaming service available through partner app stores.

Starting today, the service features MGM’s full library of original programming and blockbuster movies including offerings from Paramount and Lionsgate. The app is available for download today in the App store for iPhone, iPad and Apple TV, and in Google Play for Android phones and tablets. It will also be coming soon to Roku devices and Amazon Fire TV. The service will continue rolling out across additional devices over the course of the year.

Epix Now costs $5.99 per month and will give subscribers the ability to access the network’s new original series including Pennyworth, which tells the origin story of Batman’s butler, Alfred; Godfather of Harlem, starring Forest Whitaker; Perpetual Grace, LTD. from MGM featuring Ben Kingsley; docu-series PUNK from Iggy Pop; and Elvis Goes There, with Elvis Mitchell.

Subscribers will also be able to watch returning seasons of original series Get Shorty, Berlin Station and Deep State, as well as thousands of Hollywood movies and classic film franchises.

Users will have the ability to stream content from the app to any connected TV screen, download movies and episodes for offline viewing, and have access to continually updated curated collections, trailers and more, as well as 4K Ultra HD streaming on supported devices. All four Epix linear live channels are also available today on select connected TV devices including Apple TV.

“2019 is poised to be an incredible year of growth for our network,” Epix president Michael Wright said. “Launching Epix Now and providing consumers nationwide with access to our premium original programming and blockbuster movies is an exciting moment for our company and solidifies our commitment to bring high-level storytelling to as many people as possible. We look forward to welcoming new audiences to our network.”

“Epix has always been committed to reaching consumers wherever and however they want to watch content,” added Epix EVP and General Manager Monty Sarhan. “We’re incredibly excited that Epix Now expands our national footprint through new partnerships and allows Epix fans to continue to watch the shows they know and love anywhere, anytime.”
