Quibi reveals its full line-up of 50 shows, which will be available at launch. Helmed by Hollywood producer Jeffrey Katzenberg and former eBay CEO Meg Whitman, Quibi has become the talk of the town with the unique short-form streaming service set to launch on April 6. True to its name “Quick Bites,” Quibi is designed for viewing on mobile-only, with content clocking in at 10 minutes or less.
Throwing its hat into the fierce competition of the streaming service wars, Quibi promises to “fit perfectly into any moment of your day” at a reasonable rate of $4.99 per month with ads or $7.99 without ads. Quibi’s price tag makes it one of the cheaper streaming platforms next to Apple TV+ and Disney+. Touting some of Hollywood’s finest, Quibi’s content offers a vast range of entertainment nuggets that feature Zac Efron, Reese Witherspoon, Chrissy Teigen, Sophie Turner, Liam Hemsworth, Chance the Rapper, and more. With Quibi’s launch set for one month from today, the streaming service announced it is offering a 90-day free trial - a longer period than Disney+’s initial offering - to consumers who sign up on the Quibi website before April 6th.
Offering an eclectic mix of content, Quibi has lifted the veil on its stacked catalog of original shows. Divided into three categories, Movies in Chapters, Unscripted & Docs and Daily Essentials, Quibi’s roster appears to have something for everyone. Ranging from news and sports highlights to scripted series, here are some of the “Quick Bites” subscribers can expect at launch: Most Dangerous Game, a dystopian action thriller starring Liam Hemsworth (The Hunger Games) and Christoph Waltz; Survive, a drama based on the novel of the same name starring Sophie Turner (Game of Thrones), which focuses on the aftermath of a plane crash; Thanks A Million, a reality series executive produced by Lopez where celebrities give $100,000 to a regular person who must pay it forward; Chrissy’s Court, a Judge Judy-type series featuring real cases ruled by Teigen; Punk’d, a reboot of MTV’s prank show featuring Chance the Rapper as the host; and Murder House Flip, a reality series where homeowners attempt to renovate houses that are former stomping grounds of homicide cases.
Rounding out the Movies in Chapters category are scripted series Flipped, starring Eva Longoria and When The Streetlights Go Out, which stars Sophie Thatcher and Queen Latifah. Audiences eager for quick bites of reality can check out Elba V Black, featuring Idris Elba in a race car rivalry, &Music, Gone Mental with Lior, Singled Out, Gayme Show!, Skrrt With Offset, Nikki Fre$h, Fierce Queens, Dishmantled, The Sauce, You Ain’t Got These, Run This City, Shape of Pasta, Nightgowns, and Prodigy in the Unscripted & Docs section.
