The time of Quibi is almost at hand. The streaming service devoted to short-form content – or “quick bites”, if you will – is set to launch on April 6. And when Quibi arrives it will be bringing with it 50 shows – and that’s not even all of their content. There’s more to come, but unlike the launch of Apple TV+, Quibi has a whole slew of stuff ready from the jump. And in an effort to draw in subscribers, Quibi is offering 90-day free trials.

On April 6, the world will be Quibi’d. The streaming service is about to launch with 50 shows, and they want you to check them out. So much so that they’re offering a 90-day free trial. To unlock the offer, viewers need to visit Quibi.com and sign-up before April 6. The ultimate goal is “175 original shows and 8,500 quick bites of content in the first year alone.” After the 9o-day trial is up, subscribers have a choice of paying $4.99 with ads or $7.99 without ads.

The content on Quibi is broken down into the following:

  • Movies in Chapters: Big stories told in chapters that are 7 to 10 minutes in length.
  • Unscripted and Docs: This episodic category is food, fashion, travel, animals, cars, builds, music, sports, comedy, talk, variety, documentary and more. All with episodes in 10 minutes or less.
  • Daily Essentials: Curated daily into 5-6 minute quick bites of news, entertainment and inspiration. Quibi’s Daily Essentials will quickly give viewers everything they need to know – and why it matters.

The content lined-up for Quibi is odd, to say the least. Some of it is standard – game shows, news, straightforward entertainment. And then you have things like Dishmantled, a show where chefs are shot in the face with food from food canons, and then have to try to figure out what they’ve just been shot with. Or Murder House Flip, which is literally what it sounds like – people try to flip houses where murders took place. Stuff like this borders on the surreal, and honestly I wish this was the only type of programming Quibi had. The weirder the better, I say.

Here’s the list of everything that will be available on Quibi on day one. Buckle-up, it’s a lot.
