Shudder streaming service

Shudder is a premium video-on-demand subscription service that specializes in horror, thriller, and supernatural fiction titles. Launched in 2015, the service was designed to cater to a niche audience of genre enthusiasts, offering a curated library of films, series, and original content ranging from cult classics to modern indie horror hits.

Owned and operated by AMC Networks, Shudder benefits from the parent company's extensive experience in television production and distribution. The brand originated in the United States and has since expanded its availability to several international markets including Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand. Its business model focuses on both licensed content and exclusive 'Shudder Originals.'

AMC Networks, the ultimate owner, is a major player in the entertainment industry, known for its flagship AMC channel and other successful brands like IFC and SundanceTV. The company remains headquartered in New York City and continues to manage Shudder as a key pillar of its targeted streaming strategy, ensuring the service remains a dedicated home for horror fans worldwide.
