Plex continues to expand its free collection of streaming films. The company announced today that it has partnered with Lionsgate to make a collection of free movies available to Plex users around the world.

Last month, Plex announced a similar deal with Warner Bros. to make a collection of feature films available to Plex users for free. Today’s partnership with Lionsgate further expands that initiative. All Plex users will have access to the content – not just Plex Pass subscribers.

Through the new deal, Plex users will be able to access a library of ad-supported movies from Lionsgate for free via the Plex application. Unlike the Warner Bros. partnership, which is limited to the United States, the Lionsgate content will be available to Plex users around the world.

As we detailed last month, the goal of Plex’s push into offering streaming content is to address the ongoing deluge of subscription services in the media industry. Plex seemingly hopes that by offering

“Plex caters to the most passionate and discerning media lovers all over the world, so it is important for us to be able to bring great content like this together in one beautiful app for all of our users across the globe.”

Details of the Lionsgate partnership, such as film availability and release dates, are unknown, but we should learn more later this year. Read the full press release below:
