As the television industry continues to up its game, more and more streaming and digital platforms are popping up to meet the public demand for services that offer the latest and greatest content. One of those platforms, Roku, is turning to an unexpected source for its latest content line-up: canceled HBO originals.
For those who may not be familiar with HBO, it’s a premium cable network whose programming can be found on various platforms, including cable and satellite, online streaming, and now, Roku. Over the years, the network has put out some award-winning content, including series such as Game of Thrones and The Big Bang Theory. Unfortunately, not all series have enjoyed the same success as these two, leading to some getting the axe before their time is up.
Luckily for fans of these canceled series, Roku is offering a unique new opportunity to enjoy them again. Through its streaming platform, the network is going to make a selection of canceled HBO originals available for streaming. This includes such well-remembered shows as The Comeback, Tell Me You Love Me, and a variety of other produtcions.
This is great news for fans of these shows, as they will now have another outlet to binge-watch these classic titles. Additionally, it gives Roku a boost in terms of its overall content lineup, which should result in more customers signing up for its service.
In the end, canceled series getting a second chance on the Roku platform are a win-win for everyone. It’s a way for fans to get caught up on the shows they may have missed, and for the streaming platform to put its name alongside some of the best television content out there. With any luck, this may be the beginning of a larger trend as streaming platforms continue to search for ways to distinguish themselves from the competition.
