Lionsgate is expanding its European Starz network by launching its Starzplay channel on Virgin Media in the U.K.

The STARZPLAY premium streaming service will give Virgin TV customers in the UK the opportunity to watch STARZ series all in one place.

The latest Subscription Video on Demand service available to Virgin TV subscribers, STARZPLAY offers access to a vast library of additional content including popular series for £4.99 a month. Virgin TV customers who add the STARZPLAY subscription to their package can view the content by pressing Home on their V6 remote control and then clicking On Demand followed by Box Sets.

At launch, Virgin Media customers with the STARZPLAY add on subscription can enjoy brand new STARZ originals, including season two of the critically-acclaimed STARZ Original series "Counterpart".
