Roku highlighted ‘Mapleworth Murders’ as an example of the new content. The streaming TV giant says viewers will “experience the award-worthy comedy of nominees Paula Pell, John Lutz and J.B. Smoove.
Paula Pell said, “Making ‘Mapleworth Murders’ was a glorious crime procedural romp through a field of pure nutbaggery. We are so incredibly excited that it found a nest at The Roku Channel and millions of viewers can watch a lesbian spinster and dipstick sheriff and deputy try to solve some of the most ridiculous daily murders in an otherwise charming town. Full disclosure, we wrote almost all of it in a melatonin twilight.”
“While it’s only been a few months since the launch of Roku Originals, the response has been overwhelming,” said Brian Tannenbaum, Head of Alternative Programming Roku. “We’re excited to keep the drumbeat of premium series, featuring Hollywood’s top talent, available only on the Roku Channel with this next slate of original programming.”
Launched in 2020, The Roku Channel licenses and distributes content from more than 175 partners and is the home of free entertainment on the Roku platform. In addition to Roku streaming players, The Roku Channel is available on Roku TV models from TCL and Hisense, plus Sky Q and NOW devices.
