All-New Series ‘Eye Candy,’ ‘Squeaky Clean,’

Debut for the First Time Anywhere; Multi-Emmy®Nominated ‘Mapleworth
Murders’ Will be Available to Stream
Roku, Inc. (NASDAQ: ROKU) announced today that an
exciting new slate of Roku Originals will be available to stream
beginning August 13. The lineup features 23 new titles for The Roku
Channel, including four all-new premieres, available exclusively on
The Roku Channel in the U.S., Canada, and the U.K.
New, never-before-seen series ‘Eye Candy,’ ‘Squeaky Clean,’
season two of ‘Thanks a Million,’ and ‘What Happens in Hollywood,’
will push new limits in the unscripted and documentary genres,
introducing streamers to compelling shows that will shape important
conversations, pull at one’s heart strings, and put viewers
straight into the competition. Additionally, on August 13
multi-Emmy®nominated ‘Mapleworth Murders’ will make its debut on
The Roku Channel, where viewers can experience the award-worthy
comedy of nominees Paula Pell, John Lutz and J.B. Smoove.
- “While it’s only been a few months since the launch of Roku
Originals, the response has been overwhelming,” said Brian
Tannenbaum, Head of Alternative Programming Roku. “We’re excited to
keep the drumbeat of premium series, featuring Hollywood’s top
talent, available only on the Roku Channel with this next slate of
original programming.”
- Roku’s Head of Scripted Programming Colin Davis continued,
“Viewers will be on the edge of their seats with thrillers like
‘The Stranger’, ‘Survive’ and ‘Wireless,’ and then can laugh
themselves silly with ‘Mapleworth Murders.’ These August additions
continue to prove that we can offer something for everyone, and we
could not be prouder for them to be devoured by the massive Roku
audience.”
- Paula Pell said, “Making ‘Mapleworth Murders’ was a glorious
crime procedural romp through a field of pure nutbaggery. We are so
incredibly excited that it found a nest at The Roku Channel and
millions of viewers can watch a lesbian spinster and dipstick
sheriff and deputy try to solve some of the most ridiculous daily
murders in an otherwise charming town. Full disclosure, we wrote
almost all of it in a melatonin twilight.”
Roku Originals continue to help drive strong viewer engagement
for The Roku Channel since its launch on Streaming Day in May 2021.
The top 5 streamed TV programs by unique view1 on The Roku Channel
this summer (from May 20 to July 18) were all Roku Originals. The
Roku Channel, the exclusive home of Roku Originals, saw robust
growth with streaming hours more than doubling year-over-year in Q2
2021. According to Nielsen streaming reach ratings for the month of
June, The Roku Channel was the No. 6 streaming channel by household
