Alongside the originals, the platform will also feature global franchises such as 90DF, Wheeler Dealers, Deadliest Catch, Gold Rush and Say Yes to the Dress.
Each month, new documentaries will be uploaded to the platform across content categories such as lifestyle and relationships, home and food, true crime, adventure and natural history, science, technology, and the environment.

In addition to discovery+, Jawwy TV subscribers can also access seven of Discovery’s international linear channels: Discovery Channel, Fatafeat, TLC, Discovery Family, Animal Planet, Discovery Science and Investigation Discovery.
