Fancy a healthy portion of British telly? BritBox has your back. Available in Canada since 2018, the niche streaming service comes with a wide collection of British television that includes popular shows like Doctor Who, Line of Duty and Midsomer Murders.

There are no contracts involved, so you can cancel anytime. Even better, the platform offers a free trial to help you figure out if it’s a good entertainment fit for you. Here’s everything you need to know about BritBox Canada before signing up.

What is BritBox?

As the name suggests, BritBox is a streaming service that specializes in British television.

A joint venture between the two largest networks in the UK – BBC and ITV – the platform hosts previous and current seasons of popular TV shows from the UK, some you won’t be able to find anywhere else.

The list includes both classic series and more recent shows express from the UK.

BritBox prices

BritBox offers two types of plans – monthly and annual. You can get access to the British streaming platform for $8.99 a month or save with an annual subscription, priced at $89.99/year.

Users also have the option to subscribe through Amazon Prime Video Channels, which may come in handy if you’re keen on keeping all your streaming subscriptions in one place. The price is the same. You can also get BritBox through Apple TV Channels.

Keep in mind that if you subscribe via Amazon or Apple, you’ll only be able to watch in either Amazon Prime Video or in the Apple TV app and not on BritBox.com or in the platform’s own apps.

Does BritBox have a free trial?

Yes. The service offers a free 7-day trial, so you can sign up and enjoy all the British TV you can handle completely free for a week.

You can binge beloved shows like Doctor Who, Midsomer Murders, Agatha Christie’s Poirot, Line of Duty, Upstairs Downstairs, Are You Being Served?, Blackadder, Fawlty Towers, Emmerdale and more.

BritBox features

When it comes to features, BritBox is pretty basic. The interface is user-friendly and easy to navigate. The search function is intuitive, and you can set up parental controls and closed captions. The service also recommends similar shows based on the page you are on. You won’t have to sit through any ads while you binge.
