Top Gear is now available on the platforms of MENA, Italy, France, Germany, Spain, Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. This launch follows the successful launch of Samsung TV Plus in Benelux and across the same markets on Pluto TV.

I am proud to announce the expansion of BBC Drama and Top Gear FAST channels with Samsung TV Plus, giving new audiences across EMEA access to the suite of bingable content from BBC Studios’ world-renowned catalogue. With FAST channel launches across 42 EMEA countries in just five years, I’m excited for BBC Studios’ future in this space.”
