Streaming TV platform and device maker Roku has acquired the global rights to exclusively stream programming from shuttered short-form streamer Quibi, the companies announced today.
Most of Quibi’s programming, including more than 75 scripted originals, alternative reality series and short documentaries that all run for about 10 minutes or less, will migrate over in the coming months to live on Roku’s dedicated viewing hub, The Roku Channel. The shows from Quibi, some of which feature high-level talent—including Chrissy Teigen, Lena Waithe, Idris Elba and Anna Kendrick—will be available to view for free on the channel and will feature advertising.
