The cat is out of the bag. “Binge” is Australia’s hottest new streaming service.
With more than 10,000 hours of binge-worthy and “unturnoffable” entertainment, if you’re asking yourself if it’s worth signing up to another service, it is.
Binge is jam-packed with the best content from around the globe and is officially available on Monday, 25 May at Binge.com.au for just $10 per month.
The next-gen streaming service will bring together the best local and international content providing Australians with a new way to indulge in their favourite shows and movies.
But the most exciting news? The service will feature shows and movies from WarnerMedia, NBCU, FX, BBC and Sony and will feature a huge catalogue of HBO hits including Sex and the City, Entourage and Girls while also delivering the much-anticipated Warner Bros.’ produced scripted originals from HBO Max.
“Binge speaks to the heart of what great entertainment viewing is about, something that is so good you can’t switch off. Binge will provide permission to indulge in the shows you love and the shows you can’t get enough of; it’s entertainment that’s unturnoffable,” Julian Ogrin, CEO said in a statement.
“This is a next-generation streaming service that we want to go beyond providing the best content by creating an emotional connection with viewers based on unapologetic entertainment pleasure, a place you can escape to for that precious ‘me time’. We couldn’t be more excited to pull the curtain back and show Australia this incredible product.
