Lionsgate Play to air 73rd Emmy Awards in India

Lionsgate Play, the global premium content leader of Starz’s OTT streaming service in India, has bagged the rights to exclusively premiere the 73rd Emmy Awards today (September 20). The 73rd edition of awards will be hosted by Cedric the Entertainer, which, unlike last year’s largely virtual event, will have an in-person ceremony at the Event Deck at L.A. Live, in Los Angeles. The entire ceremony will be directed by Hamish Hamilton.

Amit Dhanuka, EVP Lionsgate, said, “We are excited to bring Emmy’s to India. Emmys has been the most watched and popular awards ceremony globally, including India, and we are thrilled to telecast it live so that people can watch it effortlessly. Lionsgate Play is home to the best of bold and edgy content from across the globe, across genres, and we are

confident that the audience on our platform would love to watch their favourite shows and stars get awarded at Emmy’s.”
