BritBox previously expanded its international operations with launches in the US, Canada, South Africa and Australia. BritBox will also be available to C More subscribers in Denmark, Finland and Sweden, as well as via TV2 Play in Norway.

Commenting on the Nordic launch, BritBox International’s CEO Reemah Sakaan said: “Adding fresh originals to our deep range of genres and quality classics is a powerful combination that has just helped us surpass 2.5 million subscribers around the world. The exclusive lifestyle content available on BritBox International will also include seasons 17 and 18 of Masterchef UK and the police series Line of Duty.”

“We know that Nordic viewers are huge fans of British TV, and we’re sure they’ll be hooked on the content we’ll be including in BritBox from launch. Signing up is easy with our seven-day free trial, and provides the immediate ability to binge-watch favourites like Peaky Blinders, Vera, The Office and classics such as Absolutely Fabulous, Blackadder and Prime Suspect,” added Neale Dennett, BritBox International’s new markets launch director.
