YouTube has announced that they have added 4,000 library TV episodes of various series, as well as 1,500 movies. All this content is free for fans to enjoy, with ads. The move will give the Google-owned video streamer more of a profile in the competitive world of TV and movie streaming. Advertising has long been the lifeblood of YouTube and its parent company, Alphabet, and in last year’s fourth quarter, YouTube reported a 25% year-over-year increase in ad revenue, to $8.6 billion.

Deadline reports that some of the series included in the new set of offerings include Hell’s Kitchen, Andromeda, and Heartland. Movies drawn from the libraries of studios like Disney, Warner Bros. and Paramount include Legally Blonde, Runaway Bride and Gone in Sixty Seconds. The film and TV titles are not exclusive, but they are available free and many are available in 1080p and 5.1 surround sound audio. Given YouTube’s overall reach, the aim is to mobilize the new offerings as another way to entice viewers. The plan is to refresh the catalog monthly with 100 new titles.
