'So … Real' and Flagship 'Cineverse' Channel Now Available via Premium Subscriptions on The Roku Channel

LOS ANGELES, May 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Cineverse (NASDAQ:CNVS), an entertainment technology company and studio, has announced today the addition of two new subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) channels available via Premium Subscriptions on The Roku Channel.

The two new subscription offerings are So … Real, Cineverse's channel dedicated to lifestyle and reality content from All3Media International, and Cineverse, the company's flagship streaming brand that features series and movies for any mood. This marks the SVOD launch of So … Real, previously available as a free, ad-supported streaming television (FAST) channel, and the expansion of Cineverse, which has grown since launching its SVOD offering.

Roku customers can watch the following and more on So … Real with a Premium Subscription:

The Only Way is Essex – A glamorous series with big characters - the 'love rat', the 'bitch', the 'tart with a heart', the 'camp' gossip - but all of them are playing themselves, all of them living in the golden triangle of Essex, England's fake-tan capital;
Inside the Ambulance – Crews from West Midlands Ambulance Service wear body-mounted cameras and their ambulance is rigged with cameras to give a unique perspective on the medical emergencies they deal with every day as well as capturing lighter moments;
Extreme Salvage Squad – Any job, any time... Enter the high-stakes world of marine recovery and rescue with Extreme Salvage Squad;
Obsessive Compulsive Cleaners – Meet the Obsessive-Compulsive Cleaners, individuals who take cleaning and order to a whole new level. In each episode, an obsessive cleaner is paired with a borderline hoarder to help bring order to chaos; and
Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares – Gordon Ramsay provides emergency restaurant rescue with a unique combination of practical insight and compelling entertainment.

Meanwhile, Roku customers can now enjoy the following titles (to name a few) with a Premium Subscription to the Cineverse SVOD channel:

Being Human (UK) – Our heroes move to Wales to continue their quest to live like normal human beings;
The Fall – Gillian Anderson stars in this gripping psychological thriller as she forensically examines the lives of two hunters, one a serial killer that stalks his victims at random and the other a high-powered detective superintendent brought in to catch him;
The English Teacher – Julianne Moore stars as an English teacher who has her life turned upside down when a former student returns to town. Also starring Greg Kinnear and Nathan Lane;
Maurice – A story of coming to terms with one's sexuality and identity in the face of disapproval and misunderstanding. Maurice Hall (James Wilby) and Clive Durham (Hugh Grant) find themselves falling in love at Cambridge; and
I Shouldn't Be Alive – Shouldn't Be Alive is a gripping documentary series that dramatizes true stories of survival in remote, hostile environments. Through interviews and reenactments, it explores how ordinary people endured extraordinary challenges and defied the odds.

"Expanding our relationship with Roku to bring SVOD channels to their Premium Subscriptions offering, growing the reach of high-quality content and making it even easier for fans to stream these series and films," said Cineverse Executive Director, Business Development John Stack. "So … Real has quietly become popular since launching as a FAST channel in 2020, and now as a Premium Subscription offering with Roku the brand has a great opportunity to get to the next level."
