Sky’s channel portfolio is already quite extensive. But now the company is adding two more channels. Attentive TV viewers might find them familiar, as they are essentially old acquaintances from television. As it is now being reported, Sky is adding AXN Black and AXN White to its lineup.
AXN Black and AXN White Join Sky
This is not the first time Sky has aired programs from AXN Black and AXN White. As the industry magazine “DWDL” reports, customers enjoyed the content ten years ago. Back then, Sony operated the two channels. Since 2023, High View has been responsible for them and has struck a new deal with Sky.
The key date is July 1. Then, Sky will include AXN Black and White in the entertainment package in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. They will also be available for streaming on Wow and the subscription for movies and series. In addition to the linear broadcast of the channels, more than 1,000 on-demand titles will be added.
New Channels Bring Many New Series
For Sky, this means several new series that it can offer its users. More than 50 titles will be available from the provider, including well-known highlights like “Yellowstone,” “Chicago P.D.,” and “Gomorrah.” Sky can certainly use the series.
Recently, the exclusive contract with Warner and HBO ended. As a result, major series and brands like “Game of Thrones” and “The Last of Us” have moved to the new competitor HBO Max. Only selected, currently running productions still appear on Sky, but no longer exclusively. Numerous catalog titles are no longer available there.
To mitigate the loss, Sky also entered into a deal with NBCUniversal at the end of 2025 to exclusively show their films and series. This includes blockbusters like “Wicked: Part 2” and “Jurassic World: Rebirth.”
