The old application Google Play Movies is going to be called Google TV, like the operating system that mounts the Chromecast with Google TV. Google indicates that “in the coming weeks” the application will be updated with the new name, icon and interface, since it is a completely renewed service.

Google TV continues to be a multimedia center for acquiring content. Now it renews its interface and integrates with the main streaming services

Google TV will remain a multimedia center from which we can purchase movies and series, although now it will also be integrated with services such as Netflix, HBO or Disney +, to offer us recommendations on them, as it does in the Smart TV interface. When we open the app, it will ask us what services we are subscribed to, to offer us different recommendations.

The contents of these third-party platforms will be played from their respective platforms, with direct access to them from the Google TV app itself. In addition to these contents, there is all the paid content of Google TV, playable from the application itself.
