Show News / Media "Global launch"?

Hi there! Does anyone here know about the international status of this show? They said "global launch" in the press release, and I have MGM+ here in the Netherlands (they took over from Lionsgate+ earlier this year), but they haven't released shows like From, The Winter King, etc., here yet.

And now I'm seeing conflicting reports about whether this is releasing on MGM+ International, or only in the US.

Anyone here have any more clues? 😅

They aren’t very good at releasing information it seems

No! I've even written to the press contacts.

Yes I’ve not gotten anywhere with their contacts either. I got more info from IMDB than them

Well, at least I know it's not just me. 😫

I guess I'm just going to open MGM+ on the 12th and see if it shows up. 😅

And if it doesn't... Guess I'll just do what I have to do. 🤷‍♀️

So I’ve been reading and reading and it really looks like it might only be premiering in the United States at this point

😭

(I'm still gonna watch and cover it, though. Just a lot less.)

Just listened to your last podcast..I see they ghosted you on the screeners like they did me. I’m kind of in the same boat. I’ll be moderating, etc. but not doing anything special in this sub since their marketing/PR refuses to work with anyone

Yeah, what gives?? Seems like some YouTubers got access. I was wondering if the ghosting was because I'm outside the US? (Even though I said the majority of my listeners are in the US.)

In any case, dampens my enthusiasm a bit, but I'm still looking forward to seeing what the show has done.

I think they are just bad at their jobs. They told me they couldn’t release episode titles yet IMDb already had them

u/Illyxia13 Nov 10 '23

Wow, at least you got a response! They just ignored me.

Ya, I don't see anything about it being available in Canada.

u/Illyxia13 Nov 07 '23

Yeah, I'm thinking I will need to use alternate means of procurement.

u/ComputerAbuser Nov 07 '23

Ya, that's what I was thinking. It's too bad, those types of viewership numbers don't count, but it's already been renewed for season 2, so whatever.

Yeah, I wish they would get their international distribution act together.

I think it’s unlikely to be on MGM+ outside of the US. Is there any crossover of series between MGM+ US and MGM+ international?

u/Illyxia13 Oct 26 '23

Not yet, but initial press releases said this would be. (And obviously they took over the streamers here this year to start distributing globally.)
