BritBox International, the subscription video streaming service from BBC Studios and ITV, will soon be available in Sweden, Finland, Denmark and Norway through a distribution partnership with Scandinavian service SVOD C More. This pact is the first for BritBox in the Nordic countries, and means that the service will be available in a total of eight countries.

In early 2022, C More subscribers will have access to all of BritBox’s English programming with local and English subtitles available in each country. The launch date and pricing will be announced at a later date.

Non-C More subscribers will have the option to subscribe directly to BritBox in these countries. Launched in 2017, Britbox has 2.6 million subscribers worldwide, including 1.5 million in the United States
