The platform offers a wide mix of blockbuster films, award-winning series, documentaries, and family favourites, all in one place.

Viewers in Pakistan can stream global hits such as "Game of Thrones", "House of the Dragon", "The Last of Us", "The Penguin", and "The Pitt". Hollywood titles like "Superman" and "A Minecraft Movie" are also available, along with the full "Harry Potter", "The Lord of the Rings", and "The Matrix" collections. 

Discovery classics such as "Deadliest Catch" and "Gold Rush", as well as children’s favourites including "Tom and Jerry", "The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball", and "Looney Tunes", are part of the extensive lineup. Iconic sitcoms "Friends" and "The Big Bang Theory" will be available to stream starting January 2026.
