Curiositystream Inc.

CuriosityStream Inc. announced the launch of its flagship streaming service, Curiosity Stream, as a subscription on Prime Video in Canada. The Canadian launch brings Curiosity Stream's subscription presence on Prime Video to five major English-speaking markets: the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, while the service is also distributed as a subscription through Prime Video in Germany, India, the Netherlands, Sweden and Finland. Amazon customers across Canada can subscribe to Curiosity Stream directly through Prime Video for $7.99/month CAD after a 7-day free trial, with no additional app to download. Jay Sodha, Curiosity's VP of Partnerships and Business Development, called Canada an important market and said the launch represents a significant milestone in the company's longstanding and growing relationship with Prime Video. The launch advances Curiosity's strategy of meeting audiences on the platforms they already use, alongside a flexible range of products tailored to individual markets that spans premium subscription services, linear channels, free ad-supported streaming channels and direct content licensing.

CuriosityStream reported record second-quarter profitability and raised its full-year 2026 revenue guidance to between $77 million and $82 million.
