UK homes with Fire TV Sticks, smart tellies and other streaming devices can now access over 40,000 movies and TV shows thanks to a massive boost from the team at Tubi. This popular streaming platform launched in Britain last year and has just confirmed a major boost to the content it offers.
When it was first switched on, UK homes could access around 20,000 shows and films – that’s now been doubled.
Despite getting more things to tune into, Tubi remains totally free to watch with no need to sign up for subscriptions or expensive monthly plans.
“Since launching nearly a year ago in the UK, Tubi has doubled its library size, cementing its position as offering the biggest collection of free movies and TV series in the UK,” said Ross Appleton, General Manager, UK, at Tubi. “With rising costs and fragmentation in streaming, Tubi will continue to offer viewers extensive content choice and a highly personalised viewing experience. All for free.”
So what’s now available and how do you tune in?
It’s been confirmed that the latest boost has added a swathe of bonus content from studios such as AMC Networks, Lionsgate and Sony Pictures Entertainment.
Things that have been added include Ghostbusters (2016), District 9, Elysium, I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997), the Resident Evil franchise, The Mist, The Devil You Know, Remember Me, and Redemption (2013) with more coming soon.
As we mentioned before, Tubi is totally free to view and the app can be found on Fire TV Sticks, Apple TV, most smart TVs and phones.
It’s also possible to simply tune in via the web.
“In building our content portfolio in the UK, we considered early-signals and dove deep into performance data to determine which genres and content types to lean into,” said Sam Harowitz, SVP of Content Acquisitions and Partnerships at Tubi.
“With these latest studio library deals we have further invested in robust existing partnerships and doubled down on providing fandoms with a deep catalogue of movies and tv series across top performing genres such as horror, action, thrillers, and comedies.”
