Rakuten tv bolsters streaming lineup with royal drama, obsession docs, and world cup classics
Smart TV users in Spain just got a significant upgrade to their free streaming options. Rakuten TV has unleashed a trio of new channels this April, promising a deeper dive into everything from aristocratic lifestyles to the darkest corners of human trauma, culminating in a nostalgic football feast.
A royal affair and unsettling obsessions
The initial rollout saw the launch of Royalworld, a channel dedicated, quite unabashedly, to the lives of royalty and industrial dynasties worldwide. Expect to see programming like The Crown Collection and Inside the Windsor House – essentially, a curated showcase of luxury and privilege. Simultaneously, Aftershock: My Strange Obsession / Loca Adicción arrived, presenting a stark contrast. This channel delves into the unsettling realm of extreme obsessions and traumas, featuring real-life stories that viewers will find both compelling and deeply disturbing. The raw, unfiltered nature of these narratives makes for uncomfortable, yet undeniably gripping, viewing.
Relive football history with fifa+
But the most anticipated addition is undoubtedly the FIFA+ Great Comebacks – Archive Special channel, slated to launch later this month. Coming just in time for World Cup fervor, this channel promises a trip down memory lane, showcasing some of the most epic comebacks in football history. Forget predictable victories; this is about witnessing the seemingly impossible unfold before your eyes. Produced in collaboration with FIFA+, the channel draws from a vast archive of match footage, focusing on those pivotal moments when a game appeared lost, only to be dramatically turned around. From Spain to Argentina, France to the legendary Pelé and Messi, expect to see familiar faces and unforgettable games resurrected.
Beyond channels: a film feast
Beyond the new channels, Rakuten TV has also bolstered its on-demand movie library. Titles like Las ocho montañas, La pianista, and Cegados por el sol have been added, offering a diverse selection of films for viewers to explore. This ongoing commitment to expanding both live channels and on-demand content underscores Rakuten TV’s ambition to become a go-to destination for free streaming Entertainment in Spain.
To access this growing library, simply download the Rakuten TV app to your Smart TV. The platform’s relentless expansion of free content is proving that premium Entertainment doesn’t always require a hefty subscription fee.
