By The Philo Team 3 min read March 24, 2026

Philo’s free TV lineup keeps getting bigger. Today, we’ve added six new channels from Lionsgate and Blue Ant Media to our standalone, free channel lineup — growing the collection to 130+ live, ad-supported channels available to anyone, no subscription required. These channels are also included in our paid plans, Essential ($25/month)* and Bundle+ ($33/month)*, announced earlier this month. 

Here are the new additions:

Heartland: Saddle up and ride the highs and lows of ranch life with Amy, Lou and the rest of the family.

The Conners: In this spin-off of Roseanne, the Conners grapple with parenthood, dating, financial pressures, aging, and in-laws in working-class America.

Nash Bridges: Don Johnson is Nash Bridges, a San Francisco police investigator who deserves his reputation as the city’s top cop.

Caught in Providence: Judge Frank Caprio takes an empathetic approach to a variety of traffic, parking, and other violations.

True Crime: True Crime is the channel for those that can’t get enough murder, mystery, and insights into the minds of the most notorious criminals in history. Featuring fascinating and chilling cases, our stories bring true crime fans in-depth reporting, expert interviews, and real-life testimonies that get you closer to the motives of criminals, and the stories of their victims.

Shockwave: A brand new FAST channel packed with bingeworthy, high-octane stories of survival. Feel the adrenaline as heroes and thrill-seekers face down natural disasters, tech fails, and terrifying accidents. Witness their bravery and fearlessness during daring rescues and death-defying adventures that will have you on the edge of your seat.
