The service now has 15 categories: Movies, Entertainment, Featured, News + Opinion, Reality, Crime, Comedy, Classic TV, Home + DIY, Explore, Sports, Gaming + Anime, Music, Latino, and Kids.

Earlier this year, Pluto TV revamped its linear user experience to let viewers choose from categories like movies, news, entertainment, sports and more easily skip through Pluto TV’s channels to the category they want. The company also updated its on-demand UX to let viewers choose from VOD categories like binge-watch and rom-coms. The page also now includes a preview mode that shows movie information and trailers before videos are played.
Earlier this month, Pluto TV reported domestic monthly active users (MAUs) totaling 26.5 million, up 61% year over year. In April, Pluto TV launched 17 Latin American markets which, combined with its presence in Europe, brought Pluto TV’s total international MAUs to 6.5 million.
