Successful Wildlife Channel “Terra Mater WILD” Expands into English-speaking FAST-Markets
Munich, 11.06.2025. Autentic announces the successful launch of the English-language version of “Terra Mater WILD” ahead of StreamTV Show. Following its strong performance in German-speaking territories, the nature and wildlife FAST channel from Autentic and Terra Mater Studios is now available in English on Samsung TV Plus in the UK, with further rollouts confirmed. A Spanish language version of “Terra Mater WILD” is already in preparation for a launch later this year.
Fascinating blue-chip wildlife documentaries and breathtaking nature films are at the heart of “Terra Mater WILD”. The channel offers viewers a premium selection of award-winning titles from Terra Mater Studios, one of the world's leading producers of wildlife and natural history content, alongside standout third-party productions curated by Autentic.
This expansion further strengthens the partnership between Autentic and Terra Mater Studios, which also encompasses Autentic’s exclusive distribution of Terra Mater Studios’ portfolio. To support the continued growth of Autentic’s international FAST and AVOD business, Autentic will also be present at Sunny Side of the Doc in La Rochelle this month, looking to acquire back catalogues of high-quality factual content for AVOD and FAST.
Autentic operates a total of six FAST channel brands, offering a diverse range of high-quality factual content. These include the English-language channels “Adventure Earth”, “Autentic Travel”, and “Autentic History”, as well as the German-language channels “Curiosity Now” and “SPIEGEL TV Konflikte”.
