Will Quibi Be Available In The UK? The New Streaming Platform Is Adapting 'How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days'


Thanks to streaming services like Netflix, Amazon, and Disney+, TV shows and films from the States has become widely accessible to watch in the UK. However, many American on-demand services aren’t currently available in good ol’ Blighty. Soon the U.S. will be welcoming another platform to their ever-growing roster in the form of Quibi, which is set to launch on April 6 with a TV adaptation of How To Lose A Guy in 10 Days. So, will Quibi be made available in the UK?

Sadly, there’s no word on whether British audiences will be able to experience the service. Bustle has contacted a Quibi rep for more info, but have yet to hear back. Despite this, it has been confirmed that Quibi will be partnering with two British TV studios to create content for the site. In early July 2019, BBC Studios confirmed they will be producing a nature series for their first commission. Currently titled Fierce Queens, and narrated by Reese Witherspoon, the series will focus on a variety of female animals and how they interact with the natural world. According to Variety, BBC Studios will also have “a small stake in the business.”

On top of that, the Manchester-based production company Workerbee will be producing a stunt show with Idris Elba and professional rally driver Ken Block, per Deadline. Part of EndemolShineUK, Workerbee will be co-producing the show with Elba’s Green Door Pictures and will be titled Elba vs. Block.

Founded by producer Jeffery Katzenberg, who was a Disney chairman and co-founder of Dreamworks, Quibi will offer “serialised dramas, comedies, thrillers, reality shows, and other programs,” as Vice writes. What sets this streaming service apart from the rest, however, is that “[e]ach episode, regardless of the show, will be about seven to ten minutes long.” Quibi’s content will be divided into three groups, as TV Guide writes. These include movies divided into chapters (basically stretched out into a TV series), unscripted and documentaries, and “daily essentials” which will cover “that day’s biggest news and information”.

As Katzenberg summarised pretty succinctly, Quibi “is just merging [film storytelling and episodic television] together to what we hope is the third generation of film narrative”.

Most Dangerous Game (starring Liam Hemsworth and Christoph Waltz), Survive (Sophie Turner and Corey Hawkins), Chrissy’s Court (Chrissy Teigen), the Punk’d reboot (hosted by Chance the Rapper), and Nikki Fre$h (starring Nicole Richie). By the end of its first year, Quibi is planning to have a library of “175 original shows and 8,500 episodes”, per Radio Times.

This will include the anticipated remakes of How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days, The Fugitive, and Varsity Blues, per PC Mag, and will see revivals of Reno! 911 and Legends of the Hidden Temple.

23 Nerdy Sex Toys From The 2010s You Didn't Know You Needed

As 2010 closes up shop and 2020 gets ready to make its debut, I think many of us can agree the past decade was, for lack of a better word, intense. As much as politics may have thrown us for a loop in the last three years, overall the decade was one of growth, awareness, progressive movements, and, of course, innovation. And among those innovations came the explosion of sex toys in a culture that finally got the memo that human sexuality isn't just something to be discussed, but celebrated too. Whenever something takes off, as sex toy innovation did in the past decade, you can usually expect that niche items are to follow. I mean, there has to be something for everyone after all. And, as a decade that saw Game of Thrones become a cultural phenomenon and the return of Star Wars , it was also a decade that appealed to our inner nerd I write this as someone who got a Star Wars tattoo three years ago. From an entertainment standpoint, dragons and droids reigned supreme in some w...

The Lit Lover's Guide To Watching 'Dickinson' On AppleTV+

Dickinson premiered on Apple TV+ at the beginning of this month, but it's already generating a lot of hype, particularly for those of us who never quite got over our Emily Dickinson "phase." For those looking for supplementary material in this new phase of the famed poet, look no further than this lit lover's guide to watching Dickinson , replete with all the books you need to read to stay abreast of what's going on in the charming new series. For some, the idea of Emily Dickinson being a bratty teenager is just too much to bear, but at least one Dickinson scholar says the show's portrayal is true to the poet she knows. Whether or not the show remains true in its depictions of the various players in Dickinson's life varies from character to character John Mulaney captures the utter weirdness of Henry David Thoreau in his cameo, while Matt Lauria's Benjamin Newton is less than historically accurate, for example. If you're currently enjoying D...
