CuriosityStream Expands Prime Video Partnership in Australia and New Zealand

CuriosityStream expands its global reach by launching on Prime Video in Australia and New Zealand, offering high-quality, non-fiction content. The move is part of its partnership with Prime Video, which is already available in several countries. This expansion aims to cater to the growing demand for non-fiction storytelling in the region. CuriosityStream remains committed to providing seamless access to its engaging content through various distribution channels.

CuriosityStream, a leading global factual media company, has further expanded its reach by launching its flagship streaming service, Curiosity Stream, as an add-on subscription on Prime Video in Australia and New Zealand. This strategic move is part of the company's ongoing partnership with Prime Video, which already includes distribution in several key territories such as the U.S., the U.K., India, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Finland [1][2][3].

The launch positions CuriosityStream for deeper regional expansion, capitalizing on the growing demand for high-quality, non-fiction storytelling in the region. Prime Video members in both countries can now seamlessly subscribe to Curiosity Stream directly through Prime Video, gaining access to a robust library of thousands of films, series, and specials covering a wide range of topics including science, nature, history, technology, society, and more [1][2][3].

"We’ve seen strong traction with Prime Video add-on subscriptions across multiple key territories," said Jay Sodha, VP of Business Development and Partnerships for Curiosity. "Expanding into Australia and New Zealand is a natural extension of our international strategy. Partner-direct distribution remains a critical pillar for reaching new audiences at scale and delivering frictionless access to our brand of smart, engaging content" [1][2][3].

This continued expansion with Prime Video underscores CuriosityStream's commitment to global, platform-integrated distribution, leveraging the discoverability and billing simplicity that Prime Video Channels offer. Curiosity Stream's availability as a Prime Video add-on subscription joins its presence across a growing global footprint that includes direct-to-consumer apps, smart TVs, connected devices, MVPD partners, and AVOD/FAST offerings such as Curiosity Now [1][2][3].

CuriosityStream remains dedicated to investing in original programming, localized expansion, and strategic partnerships that reinforce its leadership position in the factual entertainment space. With millions of subscribers worldwide and thousands of titles, the company continues to operate its flagship Curiosity Stream SVOD service, available in more than 175 countries worldwide [1][2][3].
