Vrv (pronounced “verve”) is adding to its collection of content in a new deal with WarnerMedia.
Under the agreement, Ellation-owned Vrv — which houses more than 10 different streaming services — will be the exclusive streaming home to Turner’s “Final Space” and “Mike Tyson’s Mysteries.” “Final Space,” which usually airs on TBS and Adult Swim, is available on the platform starting Wednesday with “Mike Tyson’s Mysteries” — one of Adult Swim’s most successful shows — following in early 2019.
The first three episodes of “Final Space” will be available for free on Vrv, with additional episodes of “Mike Tyson’s Mysteries” to stream on Vrv Premium, which users can subscribe to for $9.99 per month. Included in that price is access to all other Ott channels housed on the platform including: Rooster Teeth, Hdive, Crunchyroll, Geek & Sundry, Nerdist, Cartoon Hangover, Mondo, Nicksplat, Shudder, CuriousityStream, and Turner’s Boomerang, which will be coming to the platform on Nov.
