“We are talking about more than 200 films, 1250 hours of animation and dozens of popular TV series – all with Ukrainian language tracks. This is one of the largest localizations of global content for the Ukrainian market in recent times,” the company said in a press release on Wednesday.
According to the press release, Kyivstar TV and MEGOGO are investing equally in voice acting to ensure high-quality and timely dubbing. 1+1 Production, MEGOGO Voice, Sunnysiders and 15KZ studios are working on the adaptation. Most of the main titles will be dubbed at the launch, while the rest will appear gradually.
On Kyivstar TV, Paramount+ content will be available in Premium HD and Family packages, as well as in a special themed Paramount+ Kids playlist.
On MEGOGO, it will be available as part of the Maximum and Optimal subscriptions, as well as MEGOPACK XL.
According to the announcement, starting July 1, the platforms will offer such titles as Dexter, Elementary, Yellowstone, all 8 seasons of Charmed, Billions, and within a month, Halo, The King of Tulsa, 1923, and the new series The Agency will also open.
