This includes a select number of highly anticipated new release films including “A Quiet Place Part II,” “The United States vs. Billie Holiday,” “City of Lies” and “Here Today.”

Customers can enjoy the new partnership with a feature collection including STARZ Originals “Power Book II: Ghost,” “Hightown,” “Seduced: Inside the NXIVM Cult,” “The Spanish Princess” and “Party Down.”
Ahead of the Emmys® in September, customers can catch up on several Emmy-nominated titles on their next flight, including “RuPaul’s Drag Race” from MTV Entertainment Group, as well as Hulu Originals “The Handmaids Tale” and “Shrill,” among others.
Focused on your old favorites? No problem. Delta customers can now plug in and binge select series, with the airline testing how it can offer full seasons of top performing shows. Selected based on previous viewership trends, featured shows include the tenth season of “Friends,” “The Office (US),” “Bahamas Life,” and “Beat Bobby Flay.”
More Premium Partners and Special Curated Content You'll Love
Just in time for back to school, Delta reaffirms its commitment to education by launching a new partnership with KidNation. Co-Founded by three-time Grammy® Award winner, actor, entrepreneur and philanthropist Chris "Ludacris" Bridges, KidNation delivers family-friendly, wholesome educational entertainment through danceable songs and dynamic videos designed by artists, educators and child development experts.
KidNation’s enriching content focuses on key developmental areas such as health and wellness, education, and current social and cultural movements.
The refresh also gives an opportunity to celebrate the return of international travel, with 20 new films from more than eight countries that remind us of the connections made around the world through film. Among those, Delta will have onboard “The Girl Who Wore Freedom” – an independent film added in partnership with Delta’s Veterans Business Resource Group (BRG) – that details the connections made between the people of Normandy, France, and the American GIs who liberated them on D-Day.
Premium and personalized content is central to Delta’s vision for a more connected onboard experience. In addition to Delta Studio content, customers can enjoy 12 channels of live satellite TV**, free messaging, and fast, reliable high-speed connectivity on more flights.***
