Passionflix, a romance-focused streaming service run by Elon Musk’s sister, Tosca Musk, has raised $9.4 million in a funding round led by AMC Networks.
The influx of funding was reported on Wednesday in an SEC filing, but individual investors were not named.

The company had no comment when contacted by Deadline. Under SEC rules, investments qualifying as “material” must be reported by public companies, so the fact that AMC did not disclose it indicates the modest size of the transaction in the overall scheme of things. Still, AMC Networks has made investments before in entities like RLJ Entertainment and the streaming outlet Acorn and went on to acquire full control of them over time.
The targeted approach and modest footprint of Passionflix, which has just six employees, matches the niche streaming operation of AMC Networks. The company operates a portfolio of narrowly focused services like Shudder, Sundance Now and Allblk.
In an article about Passionflix in June, The New York Times described the service as “sort of a sexy Hallmark Channel.” Since its launch in 2017, the company had raised $22 million before the latest round. In addition to serving as CEO of Passionflix, Tosca Musk also directs some of its original movies.
Other investors in Passionflix include Norman Lear and First Look Media, a production entity and parent of Topic Studios and the streaming service Topic.
