The final chapter for defunct streaming service Quibi is coming to an end. The programs, which include Emmy-winning drama "#FreeRayshawn” and the Kevin Hart comedy “Die Hart,” will live on Roku’s free, ad-supported streaming service, the Roku Channel, later this year, the company announced Friday. The Quibi shows will appear in their short-form format, with each episode followed by advertising, Holmes said. And some who created shows specifically for Quibi may not want to see their content on a free streaming platform like the Roku Channel. “It does create some opportunities to have discussions with folks who have made shows for Quibi or have shows in the process,” Holmes said.
