In 2016 the BBC, in partnership with fellow UK broadcasters ITV and Channel 4 (who later withdrew from the project), set up 'project kangaroo' to develop an international online streaming service to rival services such as Netflix and Hulu.<ref name="Variety">{{cite news |url= https://variety.com/2017/tv/news/britbox-eastenders-streaming-prime-suspect-1202002791/ |title=Britbox, a streaming service for British TV from the BBC and ITV, launches in the US |website=The Verge |access-date=12 December 2017 |date=7 March 2017 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20171228054022/https://variety.com/2017/tv/news/britbox-eastenders-streaming-prime-suspect-1202002791/ |archive-date=28 December 2017 |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url= https://www.msn.com/en-gb/entertainment/tv/bbc-set-to-launch-britflix-rival-to-netflix-after-john-whittingdale-approves-subscription-streaming/ar-BBt5imj?ocid=spartandhp |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20160609191342/http://www.msn.com/en-gb/entertainment/tv/bbc-set-to-launch-britflix-rival-to-netflix-after-john-whittingdale-approves-subscription-streaming/ar-BBt5imj?ocid=spartandhp |url-status=dead |archive-date=9 June 2016 |title=BBC set to launch Britflix rival to Netflix after John Whittingdale approves subscription streaming |website=www.msn.com |access-date=17 May 2016}}</ref> During the development stages 'Britflix' was touted as a potential name. However, the service eventually launched as [[BritBox]] in March 2017. The online platform shows a catalogue of classic BBC and ITV shows, as well as making a number of programmes available shortly after their UK broadcast. {{as of|2021}}, BritBox is available in the UK, the US, Canada, Australia, and, more recently, South Africa, with the potential availability for new markets in the future.<ref name="Variety"/><ref>{{cite news |url= https://www.theguardian.com/media/shortcuts/2016/may/16/britflix-bbc-streaming-downton-abbey-john-whittingdale-netflix |title='Britflix' and chill – doesn't have the quite same ring to it |date=16 May 2016 |website=The Guardian |location= London |access-date=7 June 2016 |archive-url=
