Freely plans to add even more new channels in 2026, and I’ve spotted one that’s perfect for cinephiles

Freely is a one-stop streaming service that offers UK consumers a wide variety of on-demand and live TV viewing, and its extensive catalog of channels is growing even more.

Starting in 2026, Freely will bring 10 new channels to its library, including Blaze, Bloomberg News, True Crime UK, AMC Reality, Movie Channel, as well as a slew of channels catered to different UK locations - for example, London TV, Liverpool TV, etc.

In addition to Freely’s next wave of free channels, ITV and Channel 5 are tipped to launch their own subsidiary channels, grouping specific programs into one easy-to-access channel. This will likely emulate Channel 4’s own channels in Freely, which landed just a few weeks ago, including 4Reality, 4Life, and 4Homes – but there’s one new channel in particular that could be perfect for cinephiles.
