Samsung has announced that the Wuaki.tv streaming service is now available on its Smart TV platform.

Owned by internet company Rakuten, the video service comes with a wide library of movie and television content to rent, purchase and subscribe to.

Samsung Smart TV customers who sign up to the service before September 13 will gain access to it for £2.99 a month for life as part of a special offer.

"Research from our recently announced 'Samsung Futures: The Future of Smart TV' report found that almost one fifth of people stayed at home more often to watch films on TV rather than go to the cinema," said Guy Kinnell, head of TV at Samsung UK and Ireland.

"With the nation changing the way we consume film and TV content, having a great selection of entertainment partners such as Wuaki.tv in our Smart TV store enables us to provide people with the freedom of choice to watch their favourite shows and movies at a time convenient for them."

Samsung Smart TV previously added apps for Spotify, Rightmove, YouTube, Facebook and Twitter.
