Query about possible new content

SAMulder — Sat, 30 Jan 2021 01:06:40 GMT

Just wanted to know if Zack Snyders Justice League is going to be available to watch on Sky Atlantic? The reason I have specified this particular channel is because they usually show HBO content.

Unclear at the moment. It's debuting on HBO Max but history would suggest that Max-exclusive content doesn't form part of Sky's slate deal.

It could well end up on Sky Cinema, it could well end up on Sky Atlantic as a 4-part mini-series as that's also possible with it being a 4-hour cut.

In short - nobody knows at this moment in time 😉

WarnerMedia produced content from HBO Max is making it's way to Sky (Raised by Wolves and Expecting Amy have been broadcast whilst Class Action Park and The Flight Attendant are incoming) - there just hasn't been much more of it outside of some lifestyle programming, co-pros or shows where they don't have international rights like LoveLife.

The movie side of HBO Max has been a little less clear; Warner Bros Pictures control the international release of Max Original movies which is why An American Pickle and Superintelligence got theatrical releases over here rather than being distributed as HBO output.

Also Snyder himself said it is a film and the press release from Warner Bros yesterday confirms that too. Like you say it just remains to be seen where it lands -though given it is landing on HBO platforms globally and has also been confirmed by Crave in Canada it will be landing on their service via their HBO output deal, I'm going to remain a little more hopeful of a streaming/SVOD release as opposed to a rental.
