The four all new titles include ‘Eye Candy’, based on the Japanese game show Sokkuri Sweets; ‘Squeaky Clean’, a cleaning competition hosted by Leslie Jordan; season 2 of ‘Thanks a Million’ from executive producer Jennifer Lopez; and the documentary ‘What Happens in Hollywood’.

Roku Originals launched on May 20 on The Roku Channel with 30 titles acquired from Quibi. Since then, Roku Originals accounted for all five of the top television programs streamed on The Roku Channel this summer (from May 20 to July 18) by Roku active accounts.
In addition to Roku devices, The Roku Channel is available on the web, iOS and Android devices, Amazon Fire TV, and select Samsung TVs.
