MOCKUP: Murder, He Joked Episode Page

MURDER, HE JOKED will be released exclusively on the largest streaming platform in the world... YouTube.

Why Youtube?

In a post-pandemic, post-strike world, the film & television landscapes have changed drastically. Studios are forgoing original stories in favor of established intellectual property. Meanwhile, an unlikely streaming platform has become the first to surpass 10% of the world’s TV viewership... YouTube.

And, in response to these modern viewing habits, YouTube has announced a revamp of its television app in order to rival streaming platforms like Netflix, Disney+, HBO and others. As a result, serialized content on YouTube will now appear in a manner indistinguishable from your favorite streaming shows.
