PlutoTV: Live TV & Free Movies

What Pluto TV does

PlutoTV: Live TV & Free Movies combines scheduled, ad-supported television channels with an on-demand library of films and series. It suits viewers who want the familiar feel of browsing a TV guide, as well as people looking for free alternatives to subscription streaming services.

Live channels and on-demand viewing

The live section is organised around a channel guide, with programming across areas such as news, sports, entertainment, anime and true crime. You can choose something already airing rather than deciding from an entire catalogue. When you have a particular title in mind, the on-demand section provides films and TV shows to start when you are ready.

• Scheduled channels for lean-back viewing and channel surfing
• On-demand films and series for more deliberate watching
• Genre categories to narrow a large selection
• A dedicated kids area for more age-appropriate family viewing

Who it is for

This is a practical fit for households that do not want another monthly entertainment bill, or for anyone who misses the simplicity of traditional television. The trade-off is advertising and less control over what appears on the live channels. Viewers who mainly want uninterrupted playback or the newest subscription-only releases may find a paid service a better match.
