Quibi, the short form streaming platform, just released a look at the titles coming in September.
Check out the details for returning dating show Singled Out as well as several new Quibi shows below.
Singled Out
Season 2 premieres on September 7
Genre: Reality dating show
Singled Out hooks up a new generation of love-seeking singles of all genders and orientations. The series brings online dating to life with a twist – the main dater is linked to the pool of singles through social media. Keke Palmer hosts the unscripted series.
Wireless
Premieres September 14
Genre: Survival thriller
On a sparsely traveled road deep in the Colorado mountains, college student Andy Braddock (Tye Sheridan) drives to a New Years Eve party to try to rekindle a relationship with his ex-girlfriend. Distracted by his phone, Andy collides with a snowbank and hurtles into a ravine. Wounded and alone, Andy turns to his quickly dying cell for rescue. But help is far from a phone call away…
From executive producer Steven Soderbergh comes a survival thriller like no other. Wireless viewers can take the story into their own hands. Two narratives play out simultaneously: watch horizontally for a cinematic view. Alternatively, twist vertically to experience Andy’s phone as your own.
Murder Unboxed
Premieres September 21
Genre: Unscripted true crime
What do a bottle of brandy, a toaster, a pile of cash, and a Bourne Supremacy DVD have to do with murder? Quibi’s new true crime series, Murder Unboxed, reveals the connections by dusting off the boxes of evidence from outlandish and real-life murder cases.
Mimicking the style of popular online “unboxing” videos, each episode takes a new case and introduces seemingly unrelated evidence – one item at a time. Through interviews with the actual investigators, prosecutors, and witnesses of each case, along with stylized recreations, the crazy story of how these random items came together to solve the crime unfolds. Full of twists, turns, and red herrings, each case plays out like a game of “Clue,” a real whodunit that has viewers playing along and guessing until the very end.
Benedict Men
Premieres September 28
Genre: Docuseries
Executive produced by Stephen Curry, Benedict Men is a documentary series that chronicles life at St. Benedict’s Preparatory School in Newark, N.J. The all-boys school was founded on one core belief: “What hurts my brother, hurts me.”
The series follows the school’s nationally ranked basketball team as they learn the meaning of brotherhood through academic excellence and sport. Their value does not lie in the number of points they score, but rather what they accomplish together as a team. Curry also acts as presenter.
The Expecting
Premieres September 28
Genre: Horror
When a down-on-her-luck waitress (AnnaSophia Robb) suffers disturbing effects from her pregnancy, she embarks on a dark journey to uncover the potential conspiracy surrounding it.
So, what do you think of these options on Quibi?
