Epix - the cable network and streaming service now backed by MGM (NASDAQ:AMZN) - is joining the rebranding parade, and becoming MGM+.
That move, knitting Epix closer to its parent brand, takes effect Jan. 15, 2023, alongside the season three premiere of Godfather of Harlem.

And it's one of the "most iconic and beloved brands from the golden age of entertainment," says MGM+ head Michael Wright. âThis rebrand is a promise to existing and new viewers that MGM+ is the place to find television that reflects and celebrates the legacy of the iconic MGM brand â cinematic programming with sophisticated storytelling that entertains, delights, surprises, and transports. MGM is television for movie lovers.â
Alongside the news, Epix says that it's adding the crime drama Hotel Cocaine, from Chris Brancato of Narcos and Godfather of Harlem fame; Belgravia: The Next Chapter; an untitled Amityville Murders docuseries; and a documentary on the San Francisco music scene tentatively called San Francisco Sounds.
