Pocket.watch, the kids and family creator media company, is expanding its flagship Ryan and Friends Plus SVoD with two major distribution milestones. This April, the streaming service is available for the first time internationally via Amazon Prime Video Channels in the UK and Sweden, and will soon be expanding in the US on The Roku Channel for the first time.

Since its debut on Amazon Prime Video Channels in 2021 and expansion to Comcast Xfinity in 2023, Ryan and Friends Plus has grown to become the largest independent kids SVoD in the US, now boasting over 200K active monthly subscribers. In 2024, paid subscribers grew by +66 per cent, and with the addition of Roku Channel and international expansion on Amazon Prime Video Channels in April, the service will now be more accessible than ever.

The ad-free service is centred around iconic creator Ryan’s World, who boasts 88 billion lifetime views and 65.4 million subscribers across his YouTube channels, and includes series, specials, and movies starring over 40 other kid-friendly creators. With over 5,000 episodes and 840+ hours of kid-safe content, the SVoD will add 16 new hours of programming every month. The channel’s roster of kids and family stars, includes Toys and Colors (the biggest kids creator in the world), Kids Diana Show (the most followed girl on YouTube), Blippi, Like, Nastya, LankyBox, KidCity and more.

The service is priced at $3.99 per month on both The Roku Channel and Amazon Prime Video Channels.
