Quebec City-based Just for Entertainment Distribution (JFED) and Pluto TV have partnered to bring the FAST channel Just for Laughs Gags to Pluto TV in Canada, Latin America, Brazil, Italy and the Nordics.
The single-IP channel, currently live in those regions on the Paramount Global-owned FAST platform, features episodes from the 25 seasons of the dialogue-free unscripted comedy series Just for Laughs Gags. The series’ 26th season is currently in pre-production.
“Our new partnership with Pluto TV further exemplifies our unique standing as an independent producer and publisher by expanding our content into even more markets,” said JFED director of monetization and OTT Carlos Pacheco in a statement. “We’re especially proud to bring Just for Laughs’ first FAST channel in the Canadian market with Pluto TV.”
JFED is also developing future comedy-focused channel launches in the Canadian market with content from JFED’s library and its distribution partners’ television shows, Pacheco told Playback Daily.
In February, JFED rebranded from Amuz Distribution as part of its parent company ComediHa!’s October 2024 rebrand into Just For Entertainment Group.
