The talks between Apple and Epix said to have started at the beginning of this year and as of now, no new meetings are in progress.

Setting aside the talks with Apple, Epix together with Netflix has a deal to provide films from the former 90 days after first airing on Pay-TV channel such as Dish Network Corporation. The agreement restrains Epix from dealing to other subscription outlets according to Steve Swasey, spokesman of Netflix. The agreement will expire at the end of the year.

The companies were asked about the deal but both Epix and Apple failed to comment on the said issue.
