The Roku Channel, a leading destination for free, ad-supported streaming, announced today the addition of three new channels to its ever-growing roster, further solidifying its position as a go-to platform for diverse entertainment. The new channels—Movie Hub Action (Channel 284), Movie Hub (Channel 305), and Fear Zone (Channel 772)—are now available to Roku users in the United States, offering a fresh mix of action-packed blockbusters, curated movie collections, and spine-chilling horror content. This expansion reflects Roku’s commitment to delivering high-quality, genre-specific programming to its millions of viewers at no cost.
The first of the trio, Movie Hub Action (Channel 284), is a haven for adrenaline junkies. This channel promises a high-octane selection of action films, ranging from classic shoot-’em-ups to modern superhero epics. Expect to see titles featuring explosive car chases, martial arts showdowns, and edge-of-your-seat stunts. “We’re thrilled to bring Movie Hub Action to our audience,” said Sarah Lin, Roku’s Director of Content Acquisition. “It’s designed for viewers who crave heart-pounding excitement and iconic action stars.” Early reports suggest the channel will include fan-favorites like Die Hard and The Expendables, with new titles rotating regularly to keep the lineup fresh.
Next up is Movie Hub (Channel 305), a versatile channel catering to a broad range of cinematic tastes. This hub offers a carefully curated mix of genres, including drama, comedy, romance, and sci-fi. Whether you’re in the mood for an Oscar-winning classic or a hidden indie gem, Movie Hub aims to deliver something for everyone. “Movie Hub is about discovery,” Lin noted. “It’s a one-stop shop for movie lovers who want variety without the hassle of subscriptions.” The channel is expected to feature films like The Shawshank Redemption and Crazy Rich Asians, appealing to both casual viewers and cinephiles.
Rounding out the additions is Fear Zone (Channel 772), a must-watch for horror enthusiasts. This channel dives deep into the world of scares, offering everything from psychological thrillers to gory slasher flicks. Fear Zone is set to become a late-night staple, with titles like The Conjuring and cult classics like Evil Dead rumored to be part of its initial lineup. “Horror fans are passionate, and Fear Zone is built to feed that passion with chilling content year-round, not just during spooky season,” Lin added.
These additions come at a time when The Roku Channel is expanding its reach, with over 100 live channels and thousands of on-demand titles already available. The platform’s free, ad-supported model continues to attract cord-cutters and streaming enthusiasts alike.
