Hot on the heels of the YouTube Red rollout, a new name has entered the subscription streaming ring: Screen Junkies.
The team behind Honest Trailers on Tuesday announced Screen Junkies Plus, a premium subscription service that offers access to 11 new original titles. While the service is slated to cost $4.99, fans can also opt for a $59 annual fee (for a savings of 88 cents) or a $99 package that includes Screen Junkies merchandise.
As for the new titles, they “will focus on pop culture commentary and satire,” according to Re/code. The first scripted series of the bunch is Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D send-up Interns of F.I.E.L.D, which stars Jamie Kennedy and Jonathan Lipnicki.
