Ciné+ OCS is a group of French thematicpay televisionnetworks operated byCanal+ Thématiques, and distributed byCanal+ onsatellite TV,cable, andIPTV.
Launched in 1991, the channels were originally only dedicated to films, with the exception of Ciné+ Frisson which broadcast two television series from 2012 to 2017. Since 3 July 2024, following a merger withOCS, it is now also dedicated to television series.[1][2]
The channels broadcast all foreign films and series in their original language on a secondary audio channel with two subtitling tracks in French, one for translation from a foreign language and the other for the hearing impaired.
In Belgium, Ciné+ became Ciné+ OCS later on 1 October 2024, where it only operates the 3 channels OCS, Ciné+ Frisson and Ciné+ Classic as part of theBeTV bouquet.[3][4]

Ciné+ subscribers were given access toCiné+ à la demande, a content hub within the platforms (such as MyCanal), to stream their programs.
In Belgium, Ciné+ OCS à la demande is part ofBeTV with Be à la demande.[5]
In 2018, Ciné+ started to launch thematic digital channel on Ciné+ à la demande. Some channels where available for a limited time, while other where available for multiples years :
Following the merge with OCS, the content hub was simply renamedCiné+ OCS, and is still available within MyCanal. It was also made available as a subscription-based channel on others services likeAmazon Prime Video. All OCS subscribers were automatically transferred to a Ciné+ OCS subscription. Some of the digital channels were simply transformed into categories on the Ciné+ OCS's hub.
Some series from this list were only made available on streaming.
