Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segment Information Segment Information
The Company’s reportable segments have been determined based on the distinct nature of their operations, the Company's internal management structure, and the financial information that is evaluated regularly by the Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. Our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") is the CODM.
As described in Note 1, Description of Business, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies, as of June 30, 2026, the Company has one reportable segment: Starz Networks, which includes our operations in the U.S. and Canada. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, International included operations in India and Southeast Asia. As described in Note 1, Description of Business, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies, and effective April 1, 2025, we transferred our operations in India and Southeast Asia to New Lionsgate.
