About Starz Entertainment

Starz offers subscription video streaming and TV channels for viewers in the US and Canada. Its services let people watch movies and original series at home or on mobile devices. Starz helps users access entertainment without traditional cable contracts.

Lights, Camera, Products!

  • OTT Streaming (69.1% of revenue): Direct-to-consumer video streaming via the STARZ App for individuals seeking on-demand content.
  • Linear TV (30.9% of revenue): Premium TV channels delivered through cable, satellite, and telecom providers for traditional TV viewers.
  • Original Programming: Owned and produced series and movies, targeting fans of exclusive content.
  • Licensed Content: Films and TV shows acquired from studios, appealing to viewers seeking a broad selection.

Growth Plot Twists

  • Separated from Lionsgate Studios in May 2025, becoming an independent public company.
  • Exited international streaming (except Canada, India, and Southeast Asia) by May 2024; operations in India and Southeast Asia were transferred in April 2025.
  • Launched new original series, including "Black Mafia Family Season 4" in June 2025.
  • Restructured content portfolio, incurring $456.7 million in impairment charges since plan inception.

What Makes Starz Stand Out

Starz combines direct streaming and traditional TV, reaching both digital and cable audiences. Exclusive licensing deals with major studios secure first-run and library content. The company’s North American focus streamlines operations and cost management.

Five Things You Need to Know

  • Q1 2026 revenue was $320 million, down 8.0% from Q1 2025.
  • OTT streaming made up approximately 69.1% of Q1 2026 revenue.
  • Total subscribers fell approximately 20.2% year-over-year to 19.08 million in June 2025.
  • Q1 2026 net loss was $42 million, compared to $4 million net income in Q1 2025.
  • Operating cash flow improved to $65 million in Q1 2026, up 262.7% year-over-year.

Bottom Line

Starz has shifted to a North American focus and independent operations. The company faces subscriber declines but is adapting its business model and content strategy.
