The channel will also showcase light-hearted action dramas like Scorpion and comedies including The Millers and The Odd Couple.
Additionally, Pluto TV is launching two new dedicated channels in the UK and Canada: PLUTO TV 80s Action and PLUTO TV Sci-Fi
- PLUTO TV 80s Action will feature NBCU’s action-packed nostalgic hits The A-Team, Knight Rider, and Miami Vice.
- PLUTO TV Sci-Fi (known as PLUTO TV Sci-Fi Series in the UK) will showcase NBCU’s intergalactic favorites Quantum Leap, Sliders, and Battlestar Galactica.
Starting in November, PLUTO TV 80s Action will kick off with The A-Team, and PLUTO TV Sci-Fi with Quantum Leap.

Comcast has cut the cord from its own cable networks, the first major studio to sign away its linear TV assets for a future almost entirely based on streaming. The move has been widely viewed as bold and inevitable but positive by analysts who believe that Comcast will be better placed for growth after the split from the cable networks, which have seen audiences decline.
