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” and filming promos for the dedicated channel. Hollywood Publicist, Anthony Turk, also joined 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.”
