A new era of streaming is about to arrive, and it is bringing a ton of new shows starring A-list celebs with it when it launches. Quibi has big plans to stand out from top streaming platforms like Netflix and Hulu by being an exclusively mobile-based service featuring episodes that will not exceed 10 minutes in length. Basically, the app is designed for TV lovers who prefer short, snappy content to long, drawn-out episodes. But the biggest draw is what's coming to Quibi in April 2020. The new platform is set to launch with 50 new shows, and they star some very big names.

Less than a month ahead of its launch, Quibi announced 50 brand-new shows will be available to stream when the app becomes available on April 6. The shows run the gamut from intense scripted dramas to fun-filled game shows, along with comedies, talk shows, and documentaries for something to excite every TV fan. Plus, the new shows boast some major star power, like Chrissy Teigen, Sophie Turner, Liam Hemsworth, and Jennifer Lopez. Oh, and I definitely need to mention that if you sign up for Quibi before it launches, you'll get a 90-day free trial. So secure your free three months of Quibi and then check out this list of shows you will definitely want to watch first thing on Day 1.

Can't Miss

Survive

She may not be the Queen in the North any longer, but Sophie Turner is still trying to stay alive in a harsh, snow-filled landscape in her first TV role since the end of Game of Thrones. In Survive, Turner will star as a struggling woman named Jane who discovers a renewed will to live after a plane crash leaves her stranded on a snowy mountaintop with only one other survivor (Corey Hawkins). The series is based on Alex Morel's 2012 novel of the same name, and you can check out the teaser below.

Chrissy's Court

Chrissy Teigen totally rules social media, and now she's taking her epic clapbacks and tenacious decision-making into her very own courtroom. Each episode of Chrissy's Court will see Teigen presiding over a different (real) small claims case, ending with her ruling on the matter. As an added bonus, Teigen's beloved mom Pepper Thai will serve as the court's bailiff. Fans of Teigen already know how decisive and hilarious she is on Twitter and Instagram, so this courtroom show seems like the perfect next step.

Thanks A Million

A lot of people need a boost of positivity right now, and that is exactly what Quibi's new reality show Thanks A Million promises to deliver. The uplifting series is executive produced by Jennifer Lopez, and each episode will center on a random person receiving $100,000 with the task to pay that money forward. The show's title is a reference to the $1,000,000 that will be paid forward at the end of the show's 10-episode run. Plus, each episode will star a major celebrity. The ten celebs featured in the show are: Jennifer Lopez, Kristen Bell, Nick Jonas, Tracy Morgan, Aaron Rodgers, Yara Shahidi, Gabriel Iglesias, Anthony Davis, Kevin Hart, and Karlie Kloss.

Punk'd

Ashton Kutcher's iconic prank show was a staple of mid-aughts MTV, and now Punk'd is back with a new host to terrify today's biggest celebrities. Chance the Rapper is the new mastermind behind the show's massive pranks, and although it's anyone's guess which stars will be his targets, a first-look clip shows Chance releasing a gorilla in front of an unsuspecting Megan Thee Stallion.

Most Dangerous Game

Gale didn't get to see too much action in The Hunger Games, but now Liam Hemsworth will be at the center of his own dystopian thriller in which everyone is trying to kill him. For Hemsworth's first lead TV role, he will play Dodge Maynard, a man with a terminal illness willing to go great lengths to support his pregnant wife. He winds up accepting a deal from a mysterious man (Christoph Waltz) to make millions of dollars, but only if he can survive being hunted. Check out the teaser below.
