Netflix confirms Lionsgate deal

Netflix announced a programming deal with US producer and distributor Lionsgate today for its soon-to-launch UK and Ireland service.

The agreement, which gives the content streaming and DVD service exclusive rights to Lionsgate TV series and movies in the first pay TV window, was widely reported late last year, but only confirmed today.
The deal covers new Lionsgate titles The Expendables 2 and The Hunger Games and library fare including Reservoir Dogs and Saw.
