TVCine is a Portuguese premium television brand used on four movie channels, operated by NOS. They showcase recent movies and premieres from all the major studios, as well as comedy, action, classic and old movies.

The TVCine brand was launched on 1 November 2007, replacing the Lusomundo branding of the channels that had been launched on 1 June 2003. In May 2009 they started to broadcast in 16:9 24-hours a day, instead of the old 4:3 format.

As of 1 September 2015 TVSéries has granted HBO series exclusivity in Portugal and has adopted "Home of HBO" as its tagline,[1][2] until the closure of the channel on 14 January 2020 following the launch of HBO Portugal, which would eventually become HBO Max.
