It's not clear how similar The Criterion Channel streaming service, launching next year, will be to Filmstruck, which was a partnership between Turner Classic Movies and Criterion. According to a press release, "the Criterion Channel will be picking up where the old service left off, programming director spotlights and actor retrospectives featuring major Hollywood and international classics and hard-to-find discoveries from around the world, complete with special features like commentaries, behind-the-scenes footage, and original documentaries."
