Vioobu Announces Partnership With Amazon Prime Video
Two streaming giants are teaming up to form a supergroup that would make the Avengers jealous. Vioobu, the red-hot OTT streaming platform, is making their content library available on Amazon Prime Video, beginning August 1st. Vioobu's content will be free for all Amazon Prime users.
Amazon Prime Video will soon play host to acclaimed series "Cuplicated", written, directed by, and starring wunderkind auteur Craig Healy ("The Emoji Movie"). The streamer will also host Vioobu Restorations, a curated series of classics from the ViooVault, including "Johns Hopkins Science Review", "DUDES", "Arthur Godfrey's Talent Scouts", and "This." It's an stunning alliance of two entertainment giants, reminiscent of Disney's acquisition of Lucasfilm.
"We are thrilled to merge our teeming library with Amazon Prime's winning collection of quality content", said Garth Kebler, Senior Vice President of Original Content for Vioobu. "We're confident that prestige programming like "Cuplicated" will fit hand-in-glove with Amazon favorites like "Mozart In the Jungle", "Good Girls Revolt", and "Sneaky Pete". Will Craig Healy turn up next season on "Z: The Beginning Of Everything"? Stay tuned, Z-heads: time will tell!"
Reached for comment, Craig Healy's unnamed publicist released the following cryptic statement: "Craig not seeada dime from this. Corruptada deal would make Trumpada proud".
In addition, a select few Vioobu original series will premiere exclusively on Amazon Prime. In 2018, Amazon will present "The Jackpack", a show centered around popular "Cuplicated" scene-stealer Jack Allison ("Jimmy Kimmel Live"). The series follows Allison and his close-knit group of Yale alumni friends, adjusting to adulthood and navigating careers as hedge fund managers, medical marijuana growers, and fidget spinner salesmen.
Vioobu is the new, ad-free streaming social entertainment platform that makes it easy to discover, view and share content from the most beloved networks, distributors, creators, audiences and brands in digital entertainment. The channel gives viewers access to over 50 hours of original programming, with new, original content rolling out daily. Available on the web, iOS and Android, Vioobu brings together and delivers premiere entertainment experiences across every screen. Start viooing now on vioobu.com
