Some streaming services try to act all cool and tough by adding dozens or hundreds of new TV shows and movies to their increasingly cluttered content libraries every month, but anything more than a quick bite just wouldn’t be appropriate for ol’ Quibi. Plus, given the platform’s entire premise—that people want to watch short videos on their phones—it can’t exactly pick up the streaming rights to some of these movies that are constantly jumping back and forth between Hulu, Netflix, and Amazon (thought it would be fun to watch the James Bond movies in 10-minute chunks). That means, by definition, Quibi content is exclusive to Quibi, and good on Quibi for sticking to it.
Next month, Quibi users will be able to watch… the entire James Bond series in 10-minute chunks?! Actually, no, but they will be able to watch a comedy news show from comedian Nish Kumar (possibly best known to cool people as a uniquely crummy Taskmaster contestant) called Hello America, a show about sports guy pulling ridiculous stunts with big recreations of classic toys called Life-Size Toys, and an animated series about the zodiac signs as millennials called Your Daily Horoscope. Quibi’s also gotta have famous people making Quibis, and in July that involves Kevin Hart trying to become an action hero with John Travolta in Die Hart, a cartoon based on Andy Cohen’s wacky adventures, and a show called Bad Ideas With Adam Devine that seems self-explanatory. Also, in August, Quibi is getting a remake of The Fugitive with Kiefer Sutherland, so the joke about the James Bond movies isn’t really that far off.
