Introducing Viaplay: What does the new streaming service offer? How much does it cost?
By Sandy C.
Viaplay is a new subscription video-on-demand service that is entering today’s streaming wars. During a TCA panel, we learned all about Viaplay and we’d love to share all about it with you, including two great series you need to have on your radar, and how much the service costs.
We’ve said this many times, when it comes to entertainment, streaming platforms are the main attraction. Thanks to so many streaming services available today, there’s never a dull moment! And though knowing when, where, and what time your new favorite series (or movie) is streaming, we wouldn’t have it any other way, besides, Hidden Remote is always here to help you keep up with it all. That said, we are excited to dive into Viaplay and discover new, exciting shows!
How much does Viaplay cost and how can you subscribe?
Viaplay can currently be accessed via Xfinity. When you sign up, you start a 7-day free trial and then pay $4.99 a month to keep it. Chief Content Officer and EVP, Filippa Wallestam, did announce in the TCA that they hope to partner up with other services like Xfinity this year, to give audiences more options to watch.
What shows does Viaplay have?
Viaplay specializes in Nordic Noir content, so if you are a fan of crime-drama and heavy thrillers, this is the service you’ll want to check out! However, Viaplay will still offer plenty of other content such as teen dramas.
At the TCA, the following two shows were highlighted:
Partisan
The Nordic Noir series Partisan follows a gated community that appears to be perfect, but there are dark and deadly secrets that surround the neighborhood. This is great show to start watching if you love mystery-drama.
Love Me
Love Me focuses on three generations of Stockholmers and their struggles and triumphs with love, grief, and friendships.
