[[https://mgmplus.com MGM+]], formerly Epix, (pronounced "epics") is an American premium cable and satellite television network that is owned by Epix Entertainment LLC, a subsidiary of Creator/MetroGoldwynMayer (MGM).

The formation of Epix was announced on April 21, 2008, after individual negotiations between Creator/{{Paramount}}, MGM, and Creator/{{Lionsgate}} with Creator/{{Showtime}} to renew their existing film output deals broke down; each of the three studios disagreed with Showtime over the licensing fee rates for which they wanted Showtime to compensate them to allow future releases to air on the Creator/{{Showtime}} Networks services. In 2017, Paramount and Lionsgate sold their stake in Epix to MGM; Lionsgate had purchased the Creator/{{Starz}} channel, while Viacom (Paramount's parent company) was preparing to merge with Creator/{{CBS}} Corporation, reuniting them with Showtime.

The network currently has first-run access to films from Paramount, MGM and Creator/OrionPictures; past arrangements with Lionsgate and Roadside Attractions expired in 2019. Epix's film library was licensed to Creator/{{Netflix}} from 2010 to 2015, boosting the latter's film collection during the streamer's early years. Epix later entered similar arrangements with Creator/PrimeVideo (from 2012 to 2021), Creator/{{Hulu}} (from 2015 to 2022) and Creator/ParamountPlus (from 2021 onward); the Hulu deal led Netflix to end their agreement with Epix. Creator/ParamountGlobal and Epix reached a deal which allows Paramount+ to stream select new Paramount theatrical releases just 45 days after opening day, well before they even hit Epix's channels.[[note]]By contrast, the network's previous streaming deals don't allow the streamers access to new-release films until over a month after their cable premiere.[[/note]] In 2022, following the below-mentioned acquisition, Epix began debuting some Paramount films on its channel simultaneously with Paramount+.

In March 2022, Amazon acquired MGM, making Epix a sister network to Creator/PrimeVideo. While the network's arrangement with Paramount+ remains in effect, its deal with Hulu abruptly ended shortly after the acquisition, and the bulk of its library content was made available on Prime once again in April 2022 (though original series remain largely exclusive to the channel). Under Amazon, Epix was renamed '''MGM+''' on January 15, 2023.
