Beginning Friday, May 1, Canadian fans of “All My Children” will be able to stream a select number of classic episodes from the iconic daytime drama series that ran for more than 41 years on ABC, courtesy of Pluto TV Canada.

According to the service, the dedicated “All My Children” channel, which has been a roaring success internationally for BEONDTV+, will be one of several dedicated channels joining the streamer to kick off the new month, including Pluto TV Cars and Hardcore Pawn.

BEONDTV+, which in September 2025 announced it had acquired international access rights to a select number of episodes of the series and made them available as an On Demand option, launched the 24/7 streaming channel exclusively for fans outside the U.S. in January.

“To our loyal U.S. fans  … don’t worry, we’re not giving up. Stay tuned!” read a notice posted on Instagram at the time by BEONDTV+ and the official account for the show’s late creator, Agnes Nixon. “Travel back with us to 1995, revisiting the 25th anniversary season … beloved characters, action-packed drama and sizzle a plenty!”

“Always Excited To Spend Time With ‘All My Children’ Family!” said former cast member Eva LaRue (ex-Maria Santos Grey) in a post on Instagram last week, where she could be seen in photos joining former castmates Rebecca Budig (ex-Greenlee Smythe; Taylor Hayes, “The Bold and the Beautiful”) and Susan Lucci (ex-Erica Kane) for a meal while out celebrating Lucci’s second memoir, “La Lucci.” Hollywood Publicist, Anthony Turk, was also in attendance with the ladies.

“NEW All My Children channel streaming classic episodes 24/7 now on Pluto TV Canada!” continued LaRue. “Fingers crossed to watch soon on Pluto US!”

Closing out her post, LaRue also noted that Lifetime remains in active development on a pair of “All My Children” movies, whose involvement also includes former cast members and “Live with Kelly and Mark” hosts Kelly Ripa (ex-Hayley Vaughan Santos) and Mark Consuelos (ex-Mateo Santos).

Premiering January 5, 1970, on ABC, “All My Children” became one of the most popular daytime dramas ever created, making household names of several of its cast, including Melissa Leo (ex-Linda Warner), Michael B. Jordan (ex-Reggie Montgomery), the late Chadwick Boseman (ex-Reggie Montgomery), Amanda Seyfried (ex-Joni Stafford), Josh Duhamel (ex-Leo du Pres), Sarah Michelle Gellar (ex-Kendall Hart), the late Michelle Trachtenberg (ex-Lily Montgomery) and Lucci herself, among others.

The soap opera concluded its television run on September 23, 2011, following ABC’s decision to cancel the series alongside Nixon’s other creation airing on the network at the time, “One Life to Live,” which itself concluded on January 13, 2012, after 43 years on the air.

Depending on the channel’s success abroad, there is hope that Disney, which retains full U.S. rights to the libraries of both “All My Children” and “One Life to Live,” will see continued fan interest by making more episodes available and giving the go-ahead for American viewers to access the show through either a dedicated channel on the U.S. edition of Pluto TV, or other similar options.

As has been the case since its launch, Pluto TV Canada provides free access to all programming, including its dedicated channels, with the motto, “Stream now. Pay never.”

Thank you. I look forward to this and hope it begins a trend in soap revivals.

Love to see it. One step closer for the US!

Wow!!! I'm thrilled to see a classic soap on one of the bigger platforms.

This is fantastic news - for AMC fans and soaps fans in general!!

You can use a VPN to watch PLUTO Canada

Very cool for AMC fans and it speaks to the possibility that Pluto TV, a very popular FAST platform sees value in classic daytime soaps, which many of us always believed. Hopefully this is only the start.

That's the most encouraging component. I am in Canada and I will watch, and I know others who will when I tell them. I have an elderly aunt, my mother's sister, in her 90s who would love this, and has the means to watch it in her assisted living condo. Her neighbours probably feel the same. I would gladly set it up for her.

My mother in law is also in her 90s but much more spry, and would/could pay to watch, as would most of her friends. Most of them are French Québecoises but do well in English and loved old American soaps in their heydey.

It's not my favourite time of the show but I will take what I can get, and hope for better, and for other ABC soaps if this becomes profitable.

And maybe from other producers

I wonder what it will look like on my huge screen.

I should add, other less elderly people my age, late sixties, will also be interested. My best friend since high school, over 50 years, is over the top with joy. She watched when she could since its inception. Now she's 68.

Enjoy, all of you who will watch! Let us know how it looks on your screen. Hopefully the resolution looks good and I also hope they go way back and not just begin in the show's final decade or something. One reason why I never really bothered with Y&R's Pluto TV channel.
