Silver Spring, Md. (November 24, 2015) — CuriosityStream, the world’s first ad-free, on-demand nonfiction streaming service, is now available on Amazon Fire TV. CuriosityStream is a subscription-based service that delivers high- quality programming from the world’s best documentary filmmakers.
CuriosityStream joins Netflix, Hulu, Prime Instant Video and Showtime on Fire TV, the tiny box that plugs into your HDTV for easy and instant access to videos, photos, music, and games in the living room. Since launch, Fire TV has become the #1 best-selling Amazon device category, with Fire TV Stick quickly becoming Amazon’s fastest-selling product ever.
Starting at just $2.99 a month, consumers can access the CuriosityStream app on the Amazon Fire TV and enjoy immediate and unlimited access to 1000+ original and first-run documentaries about topics ranging from science and nature to history and the arts. CuriosityStream’s nonfiction library includes original series such as A CURIOUS WORLD, DESTINATION: PLUTO, CURIOUS MINDS and exclusive landmark series such as NEXT WORLD WITH MICHIO KAKU, WILD WEATHER WITH RICHARD HAMMOND, THE SECRETS OF QUANTUM PHYSICS, THE AGE OF HUBBLE, DESTINATION MARS, THE NANO REVOLUTION, INSIDE THE HUMAN BODY, ANCIENT WORLDS, VIKINGS and BEHIND THE ARTIST.
CuriosityStream also produces exclusive, short-form documentaries, including MARS: THE JOURNEY, THE RISE & FALL OF T-REX, DARK SECRETS OF THE COSMOS and EXPLORING QUANTUM HISTORY WITH BRIAN GREENE.
“Having CuriosityStream available on Amazon Fire TV is a significant milestone for the service, which has not even been in market for a full year,” said CuriosityStream president Elizabeth Hendricks North. “Consumers can now access the service in their living rooms, along with Netflix and Hulu, to watch and share with their family and friends.”
