“The service reaches over 100 million households in the U.S. and the team knows exactly what will resonate with a broad audience looking for top tier entertainment,” she added.

Roku’s David Eilenberg will be speaking at Mipcom Cannes next week. Yesterday, Deadline revealed that the AVoD platform has picked up The Spiderwick Chronicles, which was dropped by Disney+ due to financial reasons.
