Cineverse Expands Dog Whisperer and Bob Ross Channels into Australia via Samsung TV Plus

Cineverse Brings Beloved Channels to Australia

Cineverse, a Los Angeles based next-generation entertainment studio, has broadened its horizons by launching its popular channels, Dog Whisperer and Bob Ross, on the Samsung TV Plus platform in Australia. This strategic move marks the first availability of these beloved shows in the Australia territory, enhancing content choices for fans of all ages.

Launched on May 21, 2025, both channels promise a rich viewing experience, featuring the notable show Dog Whisperer which showcases the expertise of Cesar Millan across all nine seasons and 160 episodes. This engaging series, which first appeared on Cineverse in January 2024, quickly rose to become one of the platform's most successful channels and has gained popularity among viewers for its heartfelt stories and pet training tips.

The Dog Whisperer channel stands out not just for its educational content but also for its ability to touch the hearts of audiences by portraying the special bond between humans and their canine companions. With the global rights to the series, Cineverse is committed to bringing these precious stories to viewers worldwide. Following a successful U.S. launch in December 2024, the Australian debut signifies another victory for the company.

In addition, the Bob Ross Channel, in collaboration with Bob Ross Inc. and American Public Television, further enriches this new offering. Since its inception in April 2020, this channel has captured the hearts of many, providing nearly 400 episodes of the iconic series, “The Joy of Painting.” The channel creates an immersive experience, offering a continuous broadcast of Ross's artistic techniques and motivational messages, which resonate with both novice and experienced artists alike.

Earlier this year, the Bob Ross Channel premiered a unique series titled “The Joy of Painting with Nicholas Hankins Bob Ross' Unfinished Season,” in which Nicholas Hankins, a certified Bob Ross instructor, completes some of Ross's final paintings. This series continues to honor Bob Ross’s legacy while inspiring a new generation of artists across various corners of the globe.

According to Alexandra Viglione, Vice President of Partnerships at Cineverse, the global appeal of these channels is not only due to their engaging content but also the beloved characters that audiences have grown to adore. She expressed, “Our Dog Whisperer and Bob Ross channels have captivated audiences around the globe with their timeless content and characters. This trend of success means it’s the perfect time to expand and bring these hit shows to fans in Australia through our ongoing partnership with Samsung TV Plus.”

Joan Kowalski, president of Bob Ross Inc., lauded the expansion as a significant step, stating, “Even when Bob Ross was alive, Australians were really drawn to him and his painting technique. This is a wonderful move.” The combination of the nurturing themes present in both channels contributes to a warm, welcoming viewing experience that is particularly appealing during this time when people seek comfort and joy through entertainment.

Cineverse is at the forefront of transforming the entertainment landscape with a dedication to delivering engaging and accessible content through various platforms, including free ad-supported streaming (FAST) channels and subscription video on-demand (SVOD) apps. The company's innovative approach is evident as it spans a diverse array of fandoms, including channels dedicated to pop culture icons such as Garfield and Barney, as well as specialty genres like Horror and Anime.

The expansion of Cineverse into the Australian market signifies not only a positive development for the company but also provides viewers with more options than ever before. With channels that present meaningful content, both Dog Whisperer and Bob Ross reaffirm the importance of quality entertainment that resonates with viewers, making this a promising start to their journey in Australia’s dynamic entertainment landscape.
