‘All My Children’ Now Available to Global Audiences Outside the US Through BEONDTV+ Starting with 1995 Episodes
Today, on September 23rd is of major significance for fans of Agnes Nixon’s beloved All My Children. For on this date in 2011, ABC aired the final episode of the series after 41 years. But while that may bring up some heartbreaking memories, Agnes’ incredible legacy and AMC still lives on.
Now, for the first time since the series went off of network television, BEONDTV+ has launched All My Children, to global audiences outside the US for the first time ever, via Recast. Episodes are already available on the BEONDTV+ platform. Bringing AMC to an international audience was the work of Agnes’ son, Bob Nixon, daughter Mary Nixon, and daughter in-law, Sarah Nixon, plus the team from BEONDTV+ and Recast.
Starting with the 1995 season of All My Children, fans will notice 20 episode drops every month on the BEONDTV+ platform. This collaboration enables BEONDTV+ to scale internationally using Recast’s pay-per-view model and media distribution technology, unlocking new, sustainable revenue from both new and archive catalogue content, while giving users more flexible access to the content they want, when they want.

Amie Amezcua Martin, Co-Founder and CEO of BEONDTV+ expressed on the venture, “All My Children holds a special place in the hearts of so many. Through Recast’s flexible, fan-friendly model, we’re able to bring this American treasure to fans outside the U.S. in an innovative way. We have thoroughly enjoyed working with Agnes Nixon’s family to bring All My Children to streaming around the world and couldn’t be more excited to launch.”
Robert Nixon shared: “Agnes always recognized that All My Children was an ensemble effort. It began with the script, was brought to life by the extraordinary company of players and talented production team, but Agnes never failed to recognize that all our efforts would be meaningless were it not for the viewers who kept us on the air for over forty years. The fans are integral co-inhabitants in our beloved real world of make-believe.”
“We are thrilled to partner with BEONDTV+ and relive all the warmth, humor, conflict and drama enjoyed from over 10,000 episodes. We can’t help but think of one of the most memorable moments in television history, when Susan Lucci (ex-Erica Kane) finally won her first Emmy after 18 consecutive nominations… and her fellow actor (Shemar Moore) screamed, ‘The streak is over…’ Thanks to BEONDTV+ and Recast… The WAIT is OVER,” said the Nixon family.
In an exclusive conversation with Michael Fairman TV on the venture, Sarah Nixon, shared, “As Agnes always said its an ensemble effort – that began with the script, was brought to life by the extraordinary company of players and talented production team, but she never failed to recognize that all the effort would be meaningless were it not for the viewers who kept the show on the air for over forty years. The fans are and continue to be the REAL MVPs! We have been working hard to bring the classic episodes back – we couldn’t allow the library to collect any more dust. Can you believe this is the first worldwide release ever? ”

So. why start with 1995? As Sarah Nixon explains exclusively to Michael Fairman TV, it was a great launch point given the who’s who of the cast back then and more! “With 191 Emmy awards and 573 nominations (for AMC), it was incredibly hard to pick an entry point,” noted Sarah, “But we choose 1995 because this 25th anniversary year was packed with rich and hugely popular storylines surrounding some of AMC’s most beloved characters including: Erica (Susan Lucci), Hayley (Kelly Ripa), Mateo (Mark Consuelos), Kendall (Sarah Michelle Gellar), Maria (Eva LaRue), Julia (Sydney Penny) & Noah (Keith Hamilton Cobb), Tad (Michael Knight). It felt like an excellent jumping off point for a five -year stretch that dominated the categories (at the Daytime Emmys) of Best Writing Team, Best Actor and Best Daytime Drama culminating in Susan Lucci’s 1999 performance that brought her the Emmy win that resonated around the world.”
The 1995 season starts with episode #6513 (March 1995) and goes for the first month on BEONDTV+ to episode #6772 (March 1996). You can check out some of the key storyline moments in the first season to come listed below:

So, what do you think of ‘All My Children’ getting the chance to be seen again globally? While obviously this is not in the U.S. due to licensing rights currently held domestically by ABC, this is a new beginning for longtime fans of the body of work of the series from the brilliant mind of the iconic Agnes Nixon, once again. Share your thoughts below.
Fans want All My Children back on our TV screens! What happened to the Lifetime movies we were supposed to get? We get disappointed time and time again!
YES I agree with Ellen that AMC fans get disappointed time and time again. What became of “PINE VALLEY” the proposed Series that stars like Susan Lucci and Eva LaRue were insisting would soon happen? We are nearing the end of 2025 and it seems to be a forgotten project….
What a great scoop Michael! I loved All My Children!
This is great news. At least people outside the USA get to enjoy and fall in love with all the wonderful characters, terrific actors and great stories that All My Children offered. Makes me want to move to Canada even more.
They should make it available to people who live in the US. Why is it not?
Agnes sold the production and US distribution rights for AMC and OLTL to ABC in the 70s.
This makes me happy being I live in Canada, I can only hope reruns of One Life To Life are also in the works
This was a golden time for AMC! I was so engaged in Pine Valley life then. I miss the show greatly. One of the best. Wish tis was available to US audiences.
What happened with the so called “Pine Valley” series that supposedly was in the hands of Kelly Rippa and was going to feature Susan Lucci and Eva LaRue? It seems to me that everyone was so geared up for it but like so many things, it never came to fruition. Truly, ALL MY CHILDREN should not have been cancelled in the first place. They never even experimented with trimming the show to a half hour….no Daily soap needs to be an hour.

‘All My Children’ Revival Updates: Lifetime EVP Speaks on Why Proposed Movies are Great Fit, Mark Consuelos Wants To ‘Give Back’ to Fans
The All My Children revival via movies at Lifetime is still in the works from former series stars and marrieds, Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos, through their production company, Milojo.
The co-hosts of Live with Kelly and Mark were featured this week in a Los Angeles Times article which detailed their efforts to bring some of the citizens of Pine Valley back to your screens.
As previously reported, and reaffirmed by the L.A. Times, the All My Children movies will be set in the present day and focus on what beloved characters such as Erica Kane (Susan Lucci) and Maria Santos Gray (Eva LaRue) are doing now. In addition, Kelly Ripa confirmed that she and Mark Consuelos will also appear on screen briefly most likely appearing in their signature soap roles as Hayley and Mateo Santos.

ALL MY CHILDREN MOVIES BRING NOSTALGIA THAT CAN BE MADE TO FEEL NEW AGAIN
Elaine Frontain Bryant, executive vice president and head of programming for A&E, Lifetime, and Lifetime Movie Network said of the All My Children reboot, “Lifetime is always interested in shows that kind of tap into a powerful nostalgia that can be made fresh for today’s audience. There’s a whole generation of women that have missed these stories and these characters.”
As for working with Kelly and Mark on the Lifetime movie versions of the soap, “They’re exactly the kind of partners you want at a brand,” expressed Bryant. “They’re trusted voices because every day they’re talking to their audience, which, a lot of times, is our audience. They bring a real credibility and have an authentic point of view. You meet Kelly and Mark and kind of what you see is what you get, and I think they bring that same authenticity to their development standards.”
Albert Bianchini, executive producer for Milojo, says he knows All My Children is so wildly popular with the fans of daytime. That was punctuated when seeing it in person, and how the energy was off the charts back in January of 2025 when Kelly participated along with Susan Lucci, former head writer, Lorraine Broderick and casting director, Judy Blye Wilson in a conversation with Andy Cohen at the 92nd Street Y in New York City.

“I’ve never seen a crowd like that in my life. People were lined up around the block, recalled the Bianchini. “Everyone wanted to know, ‘When is (All My Children) coming back? We want more.’ We got to see that in real life and Kelly got to feel it in real life, and it made so much sense. I just know that the minute it gets out in the world, people will want more and more and more. There’s just a love there.”
Kelly Ripa added that they are, “working closely with Bob and Sarah Nixon, who are also serving as producers.” She recalled, “She (Agnes Nixon) was so far ahead of her time. She covered topics that weren’t being covered. It was extraordinary the audiences that the show drew, and she served them real stories that were affecting Americans across the country but weren’t necessarily being represented anywhere.”
“It’d be wonderful to give the fans something that they’ve been yearning for so many years,” shared Mark Consuelos. “All My Children gave me my family. I met my wife there. It gave me my start in the business. It gave us so much. It would be a dream to be able to give back.”
THE CANCELLATION AND STOPS AND STARTS OF ALL MY CHILDREN REBOOTS
All My Children aired on ABC from 1970 to 2011. It got a second chance at life when Prospect Park resurrected the show and brought it to The OnLine Network and Hulu for one season in 2013.
Recently, the series made a return through the estate of Agnes Nixon and is streaming internationally on BEONDTV and through their partnership with PlutoTV Canada with episodes starting in 1995. Fans hope original episodes will some day soon be available in the U.S. as well, but that could prove more difficult since ABC owns the rights to the episodes stateside.
Now 13 years later, while there is no word yet on a definitive production start date to the two movies at Lifetime, all the people involved seemed determined to make it come to life.
So, what do you think of the executive vice-president of Lifetime and LMN being enthusiastic about Kelly and Mark’s All My Children movie revivals? Are you wanting to see this come to fruition? Kelly and Mark seem to have made this a very high priority. Do you hope that by 2027 we might be able to get this to the finish the line and into production? Weigh-in via the comment section.
Starting on May 1, All My Children fans in Canada will be able to see classic episodes of the beloved former ABC soap opera when they stream on Pluto TV Canada.
Pluto TV picked-up the All My Children Channel that the Nixon family has created in partnership with BEONDTV +. The show which aired for 41 years on ABC and ended on the network in 2011, had so many memorable storylines and characters; the least of which is the enduring run of Erica Kane played by soap icon, Susan Lucci.
As previously reported, starting with episodes from the year 1995, which was the 25th anniversary of the soap. Pluto TV Canada viewers will be able to catch 8 episodes on repeat per day. With the success of the venture, the Nixons are hopeful that they will bring viewers many more years of the show to come.

Sarah Nixon, producer, shared with Michael Fairman TV exclusively, “We are thrilled that Pluto TV has launched All My Children in Canada! Let’s hope the engagement from our incredibly loyal fans across the border will encourage ABC to bring it to the U.S.! We share what Aggie (Agnes Nixon) always felt, that it is the enthusiasm and love from the fans that has kept this legacy beloved and relevant – to this day!”
In addition, 0ne week ago, during Susan Lucci’s visit to Los Angeles promoting her book La Lucci, she was joined by her former Pine Valley castmates, Rebecca Budig (ex-Greenlee, AMC, now Taylor, B&B) and Eva LaRue (ex-Maria, AMC) and the trio posed for a pic. At that time, LaRue shared via Instagram, “NEW All My Children channel streaming classic episodes 24/7 now on Pluto TV Canada! Fingers crossed to watch soon on Pluto US.”
That was also confirmed this week by TV Watercooler’s Jeevan Brar who took to X and expressed, “The All My Children channel begins streaming this Friday, May 1 on Pluto TV Canada.
So, Canadian viewers, excited about Pluto TV’s All My Children channel? United States fans, hopeful from Sarah’s message that perhaps soon, we can see the beloved soap once again as well? Share your thoughts in the comment section below.
