AI will recommend shows based on your interests

Google Cloud will use AI to scan Canal+'s huge content library, picking out details that help recommend shows just for you.
OpenAI adds natural-language search, so you can look for something based on your mood or interests (like "feel-good comedies" or "epic adventures") instead of just titles.
The goal: less scrolling, more watching what you love.

Google video AI will also help Canal+ create better content

Canal+ will also use Google's Veo 3 video AI, which lets creators preview scenes before filming or even recreate old moments from photos. This should help them make higher-quality content faster.
The updated search and recommendation features will roll out in Europe and Africa starting June 2026.
Canal+ will also provide Google's Veo 3 to production teams.

Protecting intellectual property is a priority for Canal+

Canal+ says it's making sure its rights and assets are protected within Google Cloud's secure environment, with intellectual property protections built into the partnerships.
So while they're getting smarter with tech, they're also keeping their creative work safe.
