Starz and Verizon have signed a new distribution deal that restores Starz channels, Starz On Demand and the Starz app to Verizon Fios, according to deadline.com. Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
The deal covers Starz programming including the Power Universe and the upcoming Power: Origins. Other titles named include Fightland, Outlander and its prequel Outlander: Blood of My Blood, the upcoming season of P-Valley, the current season of S.W.A.T. Exiles and Tip Toe.
On the film side, the agreement takes in titles including Michael, Shelter, In the Grey and Power Ballad.
Alison Hoffman, President of Starz Networks, commented on the agreement.
Earlier in October 2026, Starz channels went dark on Verizon Fios because the two companies could not agree on a new distribution deal. During the dispute, Verizon said Starz was selling its service directly to consumers for as little as $2.50 a month while asking Verizon customers to pay double that for the same content. Starz said Verizon had mischaracterized its position.
