Sky Deutschland has solidified its position as a leading pay-TV provider by renewing and expanding its long-term content partnership with NBCUniversal. This multi-year agreement designates Sky as the exclusive ‘pay 1’ partner for films and select series across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.

The deal grants Sky and its streaming service, WOW, first-run rights to select NBCUniversal series, including upcoming originals such as the spy thriller "The Copenhagen Test" and the comedy "The Paper." It also ensures continued early access to major NBCUniversal film releases shortly after their theatrical debuts, such as "Wicked: Part Two" and "Jurassic World: Rebirth." In addition to these premieres, Sky subscribers will maintain access to NBCUniversal’s vast library of popular titles and franchises, including Fast & Furious, Jurassic World, and Minions.

“This expanded agreement marks a new level in our partnership,” said Elke Walthelm, Chief Operating Officer at Sky Deutschland. “We’re not only extending our collaboration, but also investing further in premium programming for our customers, with more exclusive series highlights and blockbuster films that make Sky and WOW a leading entertainment destination in the German-speaking market.”

Michael Bonner, President of NBCUniversal Global TV Distribution, added: “With this deal, viewers across the region will continue to be among the first to enjoy our latest films and series on Sky – along with continued access to beloved NBCUniversal classics.”

The content will be available linearly and on demand through Sky platforms, including Sky Stream, WOW, Sky X in Austria, and Sky Show in Switzerland. It’s worth noting that both Sky Deutschland and NBCUniversal are owned by Comcast, although this may change following RTL Group’s planned acquisition of Sky Deutschland, pending regulatory approval, expected in 2026.
