Atresplayer Premium (often stylized as ATRESplayer Premium) is a Spanish paid subscription video-on-demand over-the-top streaming service of Atresmedia.

History and description

It was launched in Spain on 8 September 2019. [2] The first original series released on the platform was El Nudo . [2] Besides the regular services offered by the ad-supported Atresplayer  [ es ] (catch-up service and some series), Atresplayer Premium offers three main types of programming: Premium Exclusivo (full releases before free-to-air broadcasting), Premium Preestreno (series releasing a week before free-to-air broadcasting), and exclusive programming. [3] As of 30 June 2020, it had 253,000 subscribers. [3] [4]

Unlike its rival Mitele Plus (initially betting on football/sport as a main business line while leasing exclusive content rights in Spain to Amazon Prime Video), [5] [2] Atresplayer Premium restricted its offer to streaming original programming. [2] It is available outside of Spain in Latin America, the United States, Canada, and Mexico under the "Paquete Premium Internacional" subscription mode. [6] There is however geoblocked content. [6]

Since Atresplayer Premium's launch, much of the Atresmedia original programming has been first released on the platform, including series such as La valla, Veneno, #Luimelia, Toy Boy , or Perdida.
