Plex Adds Thousands of Free Movies and TV Shows From Crackle

Plex announced the addition of thousands of free movies and TV shows from Crackle today. The service says it now offers more individual movies for streaming than Netflix, for free.

For our US audiences, today we drop literally thousands of delicious free titles from our latest partner — Crackle, a leading video entertainment provider of TV and videos launched about ten years ago. Crackle brings a diverse selection of titles that enhances the Plex catalog of free movies and TV shows with well-loved titles spanning all genres and featuring today’s hottest stars, including big-screen hits such as Captain Phillips, Patriot Games, The Illusionist, and Failure to Launch. Additionally, you can now binge for free beloved TV series such as Hell’s Kitchen, Snatch, and Roseanne. Open the Movies & TV section of your app to start streaming the sweet, new Crackle titles.

Plex is also working on partnerships to bring more streaming content to users outside the U.S. over the coming weeks.


For those struggling to find new content to watch, Plex has launched a side blog called 'The Watch List':

There you’ll find some fun and unreasonably-opinionated posts that dive deep into specific genres, themes, and moods. Basically a clickable, curated list of movies that you can start streaming immediately — exactly what you wish you’d had in your pocket when you were staring at 30 identical copies of The Last Action Hero at Blockbuster.

Finally, Plex is teasing new updates in the coming months that’ll make browsing, discovering, and streaming your movies and shows even more funtastic.
