The streaming landscape is about to change with Roku's latest announcement. The company has rebranded Quibi's content collection as Roku Originals, promising a diverse array of shows that will be available for free, with ads.

Starting May 20, Roku Originals will premiere in the U.S., U.K., and Canada. More than 75 titles and a dozen previously unreleased series will be part of this exciting new lineup. Among the shows coming to the Roku platform is the entertaining and unhinged Murder House Flip, which was previously available on Quibi.

The content on Roku Originals was produced by Quibi before its rebranding. Quibi, which initially supported larger screens, went out of business, but not before luring several high-profile talents such as Kevin Hart, Anna Kendrick, Liam Hemsworth, Chance the Rapper, and Jennifer Lopez for its originals.

While the search results do not provide information about the screenplay writers and directors of the newly upcoming Roku Originals series, viewers can get a rough idea of what to expect from the trailers on the platform. The Turnstyle feature from Quibi will also be available on the Roku platform, allowing for a unique viewing experience.

The content on Roku Originals includes comedy, drama, documentary, and unscripted series. The show Murder House Flip, for example, will be streamed on a TV rather than a phone, offering a different viewing experience from its Quibi days.

The content on the Roku Channel will be free and ad-supported, making it accessible to a wider audience. The Roku Originals will premiere with ads, but it's a small price to pay for the wealth of entertainment on offer.
