Did you know that you can find tons of free, ad-supported streaming services on every streaming device? With these apps, you can watch TV episodes, movies and more, all for free. Today, we’re looking at two of those free streaming services – Crackle and XUMO.
Crackle also provides full length movies and TV shows for free, but also includes original content. Crackle recently announced that they plan to create more original content for their free service, through the new Landmark Studio Group, owned by parent company Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment.
Crackle kicked off the launch of more original content with an original docu-series from Ashton Kutcher. Going From Broke is a 10 part series where millennials gain financial confidence and work toward financial freedom.
Crackle makes it easy to find the content you want, dividing it into TV and Movies sections. Browse by genre or sort all available content alphabetically. Look for the Crackle Original category in both sections to find exclusive content.
You can find content in these categories:
- Action
- Anime
