History

As AXN Black

The channel was first launched in Portugal, Angola and Mozambique on May 9, 2011 as AXN Black, replacing Animax. This was the first country ever to host AXN Black.

Carlos Herrán, programming chief of AXN Black, affirmed the channel would broadcast high quality programming, unknown to the most part of audience. In fact, its programming consisted of both North American productions like Boardwalk Empire or The Vampire Diaries, and series from other countries, e.g. The Borgias, Criminal Justice, Romanzo criminale – La serie or Sherlock. It also broadcast movies every day, like The Big Lebowski, Red Eye or A.I. Artificial Intelligence.

As AXN Movies

The channel was rebranded on February 17, 2020 to AXN Movies and changed its programming, by only broadcasting movies. AXN Movies embraces all genres and aires acclaimed movies for Portuguese audience, just like Black Swan, Fargo, Juno, L.A. Confidential and Whiplash.
