Chilling existential mystery joins the free streaming platform's growing original and exclusive content library

NEW YORK, N.Y., March 31, 2021 - Crackle Plus, a Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment, Inc. (Nasdaq: CSSE) company and one of the largest operators of streaming advertising-supported video-on-demand (AVOD) networks, announced today that dramatic mystery film Exit Plan will be exclusively available for free on Crackle beginning Thursday, April 15.

A second feature collaboration between director Jonas Alexander Arnby (When Animals Dream) and writer Rasmus Birch (When Animals Dream, Brotherhood), the film stars Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Game of Thrones) and Tuva Novotny (Eat Pray Love, Annihilation).

Insurance claims investigator Max (Coster-Waldau) follows the clues of a mysterious death to the remote Hotel Aurora, a unique and secretive facility that specializes in assisted suicide.
