Hi, truthful.
On the new v5 version of TMDb that's expected to be unveiled soon, the JustWatch feature will be included. Clicking below a movie's or show's displayed main poster will enable you to easily find (selectable by country) where you can stream, rent, or buy whatever it is.

Help, I'm confused. Is this the feature that was discussed in this thread?
I thought it was going to be a user-constructed list that updates constantly to show what's coming up on various streaming services, not unlike ReelGood. But this sounds like one would have to click on a movie's page to find out the info on a movie-by-movie or TV series-by-TV series basis, not as a collected list on one page that one could easily scroll down to see what's going on.
Can you please clarify? Thanks.

Good morning, Zurich.
On the forthcoming updated version of TMDb, that'll be unveiled perhaps in early March, at the bottom of each movie's or show's main displayed (on that title's Overview page) poster is a place you can click, and it'll open the JustWatch page for that title. Moderators have been using the new version of TMDb for a couple months, and JustWatch is already actively connected to where I've mentioned on Overview pages. (I haven't personally ever used it - though looks like it'll be a great addition to the site!)
Yes: That's what was mentioned also on the other thread.

It's also integrated into Discover. So you can easily scroll through a list of all films available on your streaming services or use the filters to search for very specific things e.g. English language Christmas comedies released between 2015 and 2017 that you haven't seen and are available on your streaming services. There is currently no integration with our watchlist/regular lists though.

I'm still a bit unclear, because I'm not familiar w/JustWatch or Discover; but it sounds like it doesn't give me what ReelGood does: a saved watch list, including automatic email notifications of new TV episodes, without having to go to any specific movie/TV show page here. If that's correct, then are there any plans to do so in the future?

Zurich, I've never used either of the mentioned services, so don't have any personal familiarity, unfortunately.

You're right, TMDb doesn't. In my opinion, a basic watchlist is something Travis could probably do, but the email notification things is unlikely. I've also never used the JustWatch app/website though. I don't know if they have a similar feature.

will this feature be based on tmdb or with integration to justwatch?

@truthfulworlds Sorry, I'm confused by your question?
