Main article: List of Globoplay original programming

Globoplay offers video streaming or on-demand content of programs from Rede Globo's archived library as well as original programs and exclusive international programs. In addition, Globoplay also offers live streaming of Rede Globo free-to-air channel.

Original programming

The service has already announced that it intends to invest in projects focused solely on the digital platform, with exclusive content. The first sample was the release of a special of the telenovela Totalmente Demais in 2015 and a spin-off of it in 2016.[2]

Since 2017, to promote the reality television show Big Brother Brasil, Globoplay streams - in conjunction with the website GShow - the program #RedeBBB and the following year, after the ending of the 18th season, the special BBB18: Fogo no Parquinho.

In August 2018, it was announced that Globoplay would distribute original content series commissioned by Rede Globo exclusively for the service.[3] The first slate of series released that year under the "Globoplay Originals" banner included Além da Ilha, Assédio and Ilha de Ferro.[4][5]

Exclusive television distribution

Globoplay has bought exclusive and non-exclusive distribution rights to stream international shows in Brazil.[6] The ABC medical drama television series The Good Doctor was released on August 22, 2018 as the first international exclusive show of the service.[7]

gollark: This is just a regular expensive laptop with the USB-C ports moved around slightly.

gollark: I mean, 10nm is *working* now.
