The Roku Channel is an American streaming service which launched in September 2017.[1] In 2021, The Roku Channel began releasing original programming branded as "Roku Originals", including acquisitions from the defunct Quibi service.[2]
These series are programs that have aired on other networks where The Roku Channel has bought exclusive distribution rights to stream them in alternate regions on its own platform. The Roku Channel lists them as Roku Originals.
^The series was renewed by ABC for season 2, but has been removed from Roku.[14]
