Starz reported its third-quarter 2026 earnings Thursday revealing the now-standalone media company beat analyst expectations for the three month period ended Sept. 30.

During the quarter, Lionsgate’s “Michael” debuted on Starz and since its Aug. 10 release has become the best-performing Pay 1 title in the network’s history history.

Starz says in Q3 it narrowed its net loss to $34.8 million, which is down from $52.6 million in the comparable Q3 2025.
