"CYPHER" Premieres on The Roku Channel on March 19

Roku has exclusive rights to new action/drama series in the U.S. and Canada

SAN JOSE, Calif.- Mar. 11, 2021 - Roku, Inc. (NASDAQ: ROKU) today announced a new scripted series, CYPHER, will premiere exclusively on The Roku Channel on March 19. CYPHER will be available for the first time to viewers in the U.S. and Canada. The show features seven one-hour episodes and will be available to viewers of The Roku Channel for free.

CYPHER puts viewers in the passenger seat alongside top FBI cryptanalyst, Will Scott (Martin Dingle Wall, Home & Away, COPS L.A.C.), who is enlisted to crack a coded document, which is revealed to be a hit list. Will soon finds himself in the crosshairs of the bad guys who want their list back. He must navigate the murky waters of loyalty and betrayal amongst an underground ring of hackers, hit men and FBI agents - all as the clock ticks in pursuit of the latest targets.

"Roku is a pioneer in TV streaming with millions of engaged users," said executive producer and showrunner Zeus Zamani, continuing that "The Roku Channel is a premiere destination for streaming entertainment because of the scale and diversity of its audience."

"Because of The Roku Channel's incredible reach, CYPHER has the ability to be streamed by millions of engaged viewers. We are excited to license this content exclusively for our U.S. and Canadian audiences and premiere it on The Roku Channel."
