Starz saw total revenue slide again in the second quarter of 2026 — but the media company reported its first year-over-year growth in streaming revenue in 18 months. Total revenue in the second quarter was $307.9 million, down 4% year over year. However, Starz said, streaming revenue would have increased 1.4% in the June 2026 quarter excluding $3 million of OTT revenue related to Canadian operations that was recorded in Q2 2025. In the second quarter, Starz saw a revenue decline of $13.2 million “resulting from the continued decline in traditional linear households,” per its quarterly SEC filing. During the second quarter, Starz launched a new partnership with NBCUniversal’s Peacock that makes Starz available as an add-on subscription to the platform for the first time.
