Beginning March 2023, Cinedigm will feature blocks of Cirque du Soleil content on its flagship streaming service Cineverse along with Dove Channel, Docurama, and AsianCrush, in addition to releasing select content to its third-party platform partners. Cirque du Soleil plans on expanding its content offering by adding new series and show-based programs throughout 2023.

Cirque du Soleil's content library features several full-length Cirque du Soleil show performances such as KURIOS – Cabinet of Curiosities, VOLTA, LUZIA, AMALUNA, and KOOZA. Documentaries in the content deal, offering insider looks regarding some of the company's most iconic shows, range from Mystère – The Mystère of Mystère, Luzia – The Story of an Encounter to Alegría – A Wind of Change and Crystal – Gliding Higher.

Cirque du Soleil recently launched its new brand campaign Discover the Extraordinary. A year after the relaunch of its shows worldwide, Cirque du Soleil is renewing its commitment to take audiences beyond expectations, to the outer limits of the imagination, and to feel the deepest emotions. Four decades later, this commitment to always go further in creating the extraordinary fuels its daily mission.

Said Cinedigm Yolanda Macias/Chief Content Officer, "This partnership with Cirque du Soleil is a benchmark moment for Cinedigm as the word 'unique' simply does not do justice for the brand of entertainment and innovation this group of immensely talented performers brings to the stage." She added, "Our enthusiast viewers who have seen these shows will enjoy watching them again, and people who are new to the Cirque du Soleil creative universe will find themselves completely engrossed while consuming these amazing world-class events."

"We are excited to partner with Cinedigm to continue expanding our entertainment offering beyond our staged productions,'" said Sebastien Ouimet, Head of Filmed and Immersive Entertainment for Cirque du Soleil. This partnership allows us to provide our fans with exclusive access to the front-row seats and behind-the-scenes of Cirque du Soleil's most iconic productions, directly from home."
