What is Lionsgate+?
Lionsgate+ is a streaming service owned by the American entertainment company Lionsgate. You might recognise the company from the film studio of the same name, which created The Hunger Games, John Wick and Sicario.
In 2016, Lionsgate acquired the Starz television network. In the US the streaming service went under the name of Starz. However, in Europe, Canada, and the Middle East, it is called Starzplay. Later, outside the US the service was rebranded as Lionsgate+.
