Those tuning into Sony One’s platform will find shows such as Seinfeld, Breaking Bad, Bewitched. There will also be bunch of blockbuster movies as well with Jerry Maguire, District 9 and Men in Black all available at launch.
There’s even Sony One Dragons’ Den which is a channel dedicated to those famous entrepreneurs handing out their cash.
Along with those Sony services, there are more things to watch thanks to a partnership between LG and Lionsgate. Viewers will be able to enjoy acclaimed series such as Wong & Winchester and Paul T. Goldman.
