Facebook is bringing past episodes of three Joss Whedon classics to its video section, Facebook Watch. Episodes can be co-viewed in real-time with other users.
Three of the most popular TV series from writer and director Joss Whedon are coming to Facebook.
All episodes of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” “Angel,” and “Firefly” will be available to stream on Facebook Watch, the company’s section for series and other premium video content, starting on Friday. Viewers will be able to binge with others real-time using the platform’s communal viewing capabilities, kicking off with three official Watch Parties on launch day.
The shows, which originally aired on TV around the turn of the millennium and will evoke nostalgia among older millennials, may reflect Watch’s new strategy to focus on viewers in their 30s and older, as CNBC previously reported. Facebook Watch was meant to let the company tap into the digital video advertising industry, which was worth $28 billion in 2018 per eMarketer.
