Will You Watch Any Of These Music-Related Quibi Shows?

Quibi — it’s not just a nonsensical word! It’s also an upcoming streaming service founded by Jeffrey Katzenberg focused on short-form video content. You see, Quibi is short for “quick bites,” and it’ll have short segments of 10 minutes or less designed to be watched on small screens (i.e. your phone).

Quibi launches on 4/6, and The New York Times reports that the plan is to release 8500 “quick bites of content” and around 175 new shows, 35 of which will be “movies in chapters,” in its first year. Hollywood heavy hitters including Steven Spielberg and Guillermo del Toro will be involved. Quibi has reportedly spent $1 billion on content already.

And now, Quibi has announced its launch lineup, a slate of 50 shows including docuseries, unscripted reality series, and the aforementioned “movies in chapters.” Will you pay $4.99 a month (or $7.99 without ads) for this service? I don’t know, but here’s a list of music-related shows you can check out during your 90-day free trial.
