Wallet-friendly streaming service Philo has launched another add-on package that expands the availability of TV shows and movies offered through the platform.

On Wednesday, Philo said customers with a paid subscription to the streaming service can add AMC Networks’ Allblk for an extra $7 per month after a seven-day free trial.



“Allblk was the first streaming service created to spotlight Black voices and talent,” a Philo spokesperson said in a statement. “With its fresh name and growing library, Allblk delivers entertainment that is inclusively, but unapologetically, Black.”

Allblk complements other channels and movie packages that offer Black-strong shows and films, including BET, TV One, Aspire, Cleo TV, We TV, Starz and MGM Plus.



Philo subscribers with a plan billed directly through the company can activate Allblk via the Philo website. Those who are billed by a third party like Roku or Amazon will have to switch to Philo’s billing system before they can add Allblk to their service. Philo’s FAST subscribers do not currently have access to Allblk.

A Philo subscription costs $28 per month and includes access to content from AMC’s premium streaming service AMC Plus.
