Ciné+ OCS is a group of French thematic pay television networks operated by Canal+ Thématiques, and distributed by Canal+ on satellite TV, cable, and IPTV.
Launched in 1991, the channels were originally only dedicated to films, with the exception of Ciné+ Frisson which broadcast two television series from 2012 to 2017. Since 2024, following a merge with OCS, it is now also dedicated to television series.
The channels broadcast all foreign films and series in their original language on a secondary audio channel with two subtitling tracks in French, one for translation from a foreign language and the other for the hearing impaired.

Ciné+ subscribers were given access to Ciné+ à la demande, a content hub within the MyCanal streaming service, to stream their programs.
In 2018, Ciné+ started to launch thematic digital channel on Ciné+ à la demande. Some channels where available for a limited time, while other where available for multiples years :
Following the merge with OCS, the content hub was simply renamed Ciné+ OCS, and is still available within MyCanal. It was also made available as a subscription-based channel on others services like Amazon Prime Video. All OCS subscribers were automatically transferred to a Ciné+ OCS subscription. Some of the digital channels were simply transformed into categories on the Ciné+ OCS's hub.
Some series from this list were only made available on streaming.
