| Zusammenfassung: | Since its founding in 1983, French pay-TV provider Canal Plus Group has become one of Europe's top backers of films and television series, co-producing blockbusters such as Bridget Jones's Diary and hourlong shows like The Young Pope. Lately, Canal Plus has started emphasizing an entirely new format: serialized comedies and dramas delivered in 5- to 10-minute segments. The company has set up a new unit, Studio+, which last fall released its first batch of series in Europe and Latin America, aimed at people who watch on their phones. It costs E4.99 a month to access the entire catalog, which ranges from Brazilian thriller Crime Time-Hora de Perigo to US skateboard romance Joy. |
