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 3 July 2024, following a merge with OCS, it is now also dedicated to television series.{{Cite web |title=NOUVELLE OFFRE CINÉ+ OCS |url=https://www.canalplusgroup.com/fr/press/press-35 |access-date=2024-11-28 |website=CANAL+ Groupe |language=fr}}{{Cite web |title=Nouvelle offre CINÉ+ OCS de Canal+ dès le 3 juillet |url=https://www.telesatellite.com/actu/64756-nouvelle-offre-cinE-ocs-de-canal-des-le-juillet.html |access-date=2024-11-28 |website=www.telesatellite.com}}
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.
In Belgium, Ciné+ became Ciné+ OCS later on 1 October 2024, where it only operates the 3 channels OCS, Ciné+ Frisson and Ciné+ Classic as part of the BeTV bouquet.{{Cite web |last=Gauthier |date=2024-08-09 |title=En Belgique, l'offre CINE+ va évoluer en octobre |url=https://www.planetecsat.com/en-belgique-loffre-cine-va-evoluer-en-octobre/ |access-date=2024-11-28 |website=Planète CSAT |language=fr-FR}}{{Cite web |last=Bertinchamps |first=Pierre |date=2024-08-12 |title=Du changement à venir dans l’offre de BeTV |url=https://www.telepro.be/actu/tv/du-changement-a-venir-dans-loffre-de-betv/ |access-date=2024-11-28 |website=Télépro |language=fr-BE}}

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.
