All 23 films in the James Bond series will again be available for free on U.K.'s ITV's networks, including Skyfall.
In 2012, BSkyB snagged the rights for James Bond films, but now will return to U.K.'s most popular commercial network after a multi-year deal was signed between MGM and ITV, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
MGM President of International Distribution and Acquisitions Chris Ottinger said, "MGM is thrilled to partner again with ITV to bring James Bond home to U.K. audiences." Ottinger added, "The Bond franchise is a jewel in the MGM library, and we are delighted to share the films with the viewers across the United Kingdom."
BSkyB, which 21st Century Fox owns a 39 percent stake, launched a channel in 2012 dedicated to playing all of the James Bond films.
The latest film, Skyfall, will begin airing on the channel in 2014, reports Variety. The latest James Bond film earned more than $1 billion worldwide.
ITV Director of Digital Channels and Acquisitions Angela Jain said, "'Skyfall' is the highest grossing film of all time at the U.K. box office and proves not only the enduring popularity of the Bond franchise, but also its iconic status."
