Roku Acquires Global Rights to 75-Plus Quibi Shows, Will Stream Them for Free
Roku snapped up the rights to the majority of Quibi’s multimillion-dollar portfolio original programming — more than 75 shows in all — and will make them available free to stream in 2021 on the Roku Channel. Following Quibi’s decision last October to shut down after failing to attract a sustainable base of subscribers, Roku acquired Quibi Holdings LLC, the company that holds all of Quibi’s content distribution rights. Financial terms of the pact were not disclosed. A source familiar with the agreement said Roku is paying “significantly” less than $100 million for the Quibi library, confirming an earlier Wall Street Journal report. Rob Holmes, Roku’s VP of programming, said in an interview, “We do think this deal represents a great value.” “Fundamentally, we think that Quibi has created great, high-quality content,” Holmes told Variety. “It’s a great value proposition for our users… We’re pivoting from Quibi’s SVOD model to an ad-supported model, and this type of new, original content is not usually available for free.”

And while the big screen efforts that make-up the sequel trilogy are mediocre at best, fans have seen a new hope in the possibilities offered by Disney Plus is the future of the franchise. Kevin Feige would obviously be about the best person Disney could get to head up an MCU like endeavor within a galaxy far, far away. Currently, Kathleen Kennedy is still president of LucasFilm, and it’s likely she will remain in that position for the time being. Kevin Feige and the MCU and still thriving, so it’s not likely he would leave the MCU for Lucasfilm, as much as many fans, myself included, would love that move.
