First Season of the College Thriller Series In the Vault Breaks 3.4 Million Views in the First Month on Crackle, Making it the Most-Watched New Release of the Year
07 7월 2022 - 10:15PM
Crackle Plus, a Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment (Nasdaq:
CSSE) company and one of the largest operators of
advertising-supported video-on-demand (AVOD) streaming services,
announced today that the series In the Vault has garnered over 3.4
million views since its premiere June 1, making it one of the
most-watched new shows on Crackle.
The eight-part thriller series starring Audrey
Whitby, Claudia Lee, Anthony Granaderos, and Sydney Sweeney follows
students at Woodlawn College, where a co-ed is killed at a campus
party. The series focuses on the murdered student’s surviving dorm
hallmates. Each individual possesses their own secret that may or
may not serve as a motive for the dark deed that has taken place.
No one is safe from the suspicions of others as each episode
spotlights a different student as they move from being the
protagonist one week to a suspect the next.
“We are so excited to see our audience
responding to the fun nail-biting edge-of-your-seat thrill-fest
that is In the Vault,” said Jeff Meier, head of programming for
Crackle Plus. “We thought this series would be a big hit, but the
strong word of mouth and social buzz our fans are giving it exceeds
even our wildest expectations.”
Season two of the show will premiere as a
Crackle Original later this year, with exciting new cast members
joining the student body of Woodlawn College. The plot thickens as
the students continue to dig into the mystery of the previous
season while fresh intrigue cries out from under the very ground on
which they stand.
Crackle Plus’ recent releases include the
exclusive scripted series Les Norton, which stars Alexander Bertram
and Rebel Wilson, the suspense thriller Blast, Inside the Black
Box, hosted by Joe Morton, the sketch comedy series Funny Girls,
and the award-winning BBC series Sherlock, starring Benedict
Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman. Crackle Plus also recently
announced season three of the multi-award-winning series Going From
Broke.
The Crackle Plus streaming service is currently
distributed through 85 touchpoints in the U.S. on platforms
including Amazon Fire TV, RokuTV, Apple TV, Smart TVs (Samsung, LG,
Vizio), gaming consoles (PS4 and Xbox One), Plex, iOS and Android
mobile devices and on desktop at Crackle.com, with previously
announced plans to expand to over 110 touchpoints.
