On the second anniversary of Friends star Matthew Perry’s passing, Partner launches Partner TV+, a major upgrade for 200,000 subscribers that introduces Israel’s first 24/7 True Crime channel and a dedicated Heroes Channel.
Perry, who died on October 28, 2023, in his Los Angeles home, is honored with a new special, “Matthew Perry: A Hollywood Tragedy”, documenting his final moments, struggles with addiction, and a high-profile legal case involving five defendants accused of supplying lethal ketamine. The program includes dramatic reenactments, interviews with those close to him, and never-before-seen footage.
The True Crime channel also features specials like “Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy” and “TikTok Star Murders”, offering deep dives into controversial figures and tragic events, with exclusive video documentation.
In addition, Partner TV+ upgraded 200,000 existing customers automatically at no extra cost, expanding the lineup from 40 to 70 basic channels, 17 kids’ channels, 8 movie channels from Yes, and premium content from Paramount, Universal, and BBC. New features include Catch-Up, Start Over, DVR, personal watchlists, and AI-driven recommendations.
The Heroes Channel will produce 120 new Israeli tribute films annually, covering fallen IDF soldiers, wounded veterans, and bereaved families, along with studio shows, filmed podcasts, and documentaries celebrating heroism.
Partner CEO Avi Gabay said, “We recognized the fear families have of their loved ones being forgotten. From that insight, we created a channel to honor them every day, all year.”
The service is available for ₪69/month (₪59 for app-only access), featuring Israeli series like Fauda, Bloody Mary, The Bozgilos, and children’s programming such as *What’s the Problem?*.
