BBC Studios has pulled the curtain back on its latest global streamer, BBC Select, which will go live across the U.S. and Canada early next year and is being characterized as a TV service for “independent thinkers.”
BBC Select will launch on Amazon Prime Video and the Apple TV app and will specialize in factual programming, spotlighting culture, politics, and ideas. BBC Studios added that it will celebrate diverse voices with a candid, unbiased, and sometimes playful lens.

Exclusives include classicist Mary Beard’s Shock of the Nude, Reggie Yates in China, Putin – A Russian Spy Story, and Adam Curtis’ All Watched Over By Machines Of Loving Grace.
