Lifetime is a British entertainment television channel that launched on 4 November 2013,[1] owned by A&E Networks UK, a joint venture between A&E Networks and Sky Group. The channel replaced Bio.

On 6 November 2018, the European Commission required The Walt Disney Company to sell A&E's European channels, including Lifetime.[2]

Programmes that aired in the past on the channel included American Lifetime originals such as The Client List, Damages, Witches of East End,[3] the Lifetime US original movie Liz & Dick and an original series called The Proposers.[4]

It launched on TalkTalk on 28 August 2014 along with its sister channels. It is on the Entertainment Boost along with H2.

On 24 January 2019, the HD version closed on Sky. On 7 March 2019, the +1 version closed on all platforms.[5][6]

The network then engaged in an extended channel drift that saw it lose rights to programming to other broadcasters and not take the rebrandings of Lifetime in the United States for its own, with the launch of the Discovery+ streaming service containing AETV Networks content likely being the final factor in winding down the network. It will shut down the morning of 1 March 2021.[7][8]
