About VOD Times

VOD Times is a premier independent digital media outlet founded in February 2020 by Simon Janvier. Our mission is to provide comprehensive, expert coverage of the global streaming landscape, delivering real-time news, release calendars, and in-depth guides for the world’s leading Video on Demand (VOD) platforms.

Our Story

Launched in early 2020, VOD Times was created to bridge the gap between streaming giants and viewers worldwide. As the digital entertainment market shifted toward a multi-platform ecosystem, founder Simon Janvier recognized the need for a centralized, independent source of information that covers more than just one service.

Since its inception, VOD Times has evolved into a trusted resource for millions of English-speaking cord-cutters. We track the rapid expansion of original content, technical platform updates, and the global availability of films and series across all major streaming territories.

What We Cover

At VOD Times, we specialize in the “Big Six” of streaming and beyond, ensuring our readers stay ahead of the stream:

  • Netflix: Global originals, weekly drop lists, and cancellation/renewal alerts.
  • Amazon Prime Video: Detailed guides on Prime originals and international acquisitions.
  • Disney+: Comprehensive coverage of Marvel, Star Wars, and Star brands.
  • Apple TV+: Analysis of high-end prestige dramas and award-season contenders.
  • HBO Max / Max: Updates on premium cable-quality streaming content.
  • Paramount+: Tracking the growth of one of the fastest-rising platforms in the industry.
