Stan has secured a content partnership deal with NBCUniversal which will give the streaming platform exclusive access to productions from Sky Studios and NBCUniversal International Studios.
The multi-year deal will also give Stan, owned by Nine, exclusive access to Peacock content produced by Universal Studio Group, as well as Dreamworks Animation TV shows produced for Peacock, in addition to NBCUniversals’s children’s programming.
“This marks the first time an agreement combining series from Sky Studios, DreamWorks Animation and Peacock content produced by Universal Studio Group has been secured in Australia – the biggest new slate of premium scripted content to come to market in recent times,” says Stan CEO Mike Sneesby.
“This landmark deal reflects the strength of NBCUniversal’s portfolio and reinforces Stan’s commitment to bring the world’s best programming to Australians through our most significant output partnership to date.”
Peacock series Brave New Word, based on Aldous Huxley’s novel, Dr.Death and Angelyne will premiere exclusively on the platform.
“We take great pride in the breadth and calibre of NBCUniversal’s content offering and are thrilled to expand our partnership with Stan and Nine through this deal,” says Belinda Menendez, NBCUniversal’s president and CRO, global distribution and international.
“This extensive agreement ensures that Stan will be the exclusive Australian home of our new and compelling dramas, hit comedies, engaging children’s programs, exciting unscripted series and iconic film and library titles for many years to come.”
The deal comes after Stan announced it was investing further in Stan Original shows with the platform to roll out 30 original productions a year for the next five years.
