Bored being stuck inside? Quibi is now an option
The name might not be familiar yet, but it will be.
Quibi is a new platform where all the content is designed to be viewed on your smartphone. Material comes from big stars (Jennifer Lopez, Chrissy Teigen, LeBron James, Chance the Rapper, Liam Hemsworth, Reese Witherspoon and more to come) and is over in ten minutes or less.
Like what? Survive starring Sophie Turner, Most Dangerous Game with Liam Hemsworth and Christoph Waltz, Punk’d hosted by Chance the
Rapper, Murder House Flip (you can guess what that one’s about), Around the World by BBC News, The Replay by ESPN and more.
New material comes out daily (they say 25 new episodes, which works out to about three hours a day). Over 175 new original shows will be released over the next year, which will equal about 8,500 “quick bites of content.”
Things are organized this way:
- Full movies that unfold in short chapters
- Unscripted (i.e. reality shows) and documentaries
- “Daily Essentials” (news and information)
