gerard butler and aaron eckhart in olympus has fallen — Free streaming service Tubi finally launches in UKLionsgate

Tubi, the ad-supported streaming service that is free of charge, has finally launched in the UK over ten years since its formation.

The service, owned by the Fox Corporation since 2020, launched in the US way back in 2014, leaving fans wondering if it would ever land in the UK.

The fears have been allayed, however, with the service now finally being available for UK viewers – and they will have over 20,000 films and television episodes to choose from.

Launch movies include Olympus Has Fallen, Happy Gilmore, Kill Bill Vol 1, Amsterdam, Happy Death Day and Tubi original Slay, while launch TV shows include Fresh Meat and Boss.

The list of movies coming up in July include Billy Elliot, Charlie's Angels and Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle, while on the TV side, Marvel's Runaways will also be added to the service this month.

"Tubi has spent the last decade honing our approach to vast, free and fun streaming in North America, and we feel that now is the perfect time to bring that recipe to UK audiences," said CEO Anjali Sud.

"We are launching with one of the largest and most diverse content libraries in the UK, designed to indulge viewers in everything from blockbusters to original stories to hidden gems. Most importantly, we're committed to listening to what resonates with UK fans, and bringing them more and more of what they love."

"At a time when traditional programming feels homogenous and when finding what to watch feels like a chore, Tubi has been effective at delivering delight beyond the monoculture with content that appeals to diverse and vibrant fandoms," added David Salmon, EVP and Managing Director of International at Tubi.

"We believe that we can build a brilliantly broad, culturally ambitious offering that puts UK audiences back at the centre, and makes it fun and easy to enjoy great entertainment from around the world."

Analysis-UK election brings few hopes or fears to cautious City of London
The UK financial sector is warming to Labour's pro-business overtures and pledges to provide stability and support, but many in the City remain wary it could be targeted to prop up Britain's stretched public finances further down the line. Under leader Keir Starmer, the Labour Party - expected to win Thursday's UK election - has assiduously courted the City of London, mindful that his plans for boosting economic growth will need a big dose of private capital. In the last election in 2019, Starmer's predecessor Jeremy Corbyn set out a radical manifesto to increase public investment by raising taxes on companies and top earners, resulting in Labour's worst result since the 1930s.
