CuriosityStream Invites Families to ‘Stay in, Stay Curious’ with Enhanced Kids Programming Feature and Special Pricing

SILVER SPRING, Md., March 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — CuriosityStream, a leading global factual media company, today announced the ‘Stay in, Stay Curious’ campaign including an enhanced ‘Kids’ Mode‘, creating a kid-friendly space in the library of award-winning documentary films and series. In an effort to be as widely accessible as possible, CuriosityStream is temporarily cutting its price to just $12 for a full year’s subscription. Viewers of all ages have immediate access to watch thousands of engaging and entertaining features, series and short-form films on science, nature, history, travel, adventure, lifestyle and more.

For younger viewers, ‘Kids’ Mode’ is a feature now available across all CuriosityStream subscriptions and devices. When enabled on a user’s account, it filters out access to content that includes visually explicit violence, occasionally seen in historical re-creations, shows with disturbing imagery, as well as visually explicit sexual content occasionally seen in nature films, for example.

“As our world has entered uncharted waters over the past weeks, we have pushed ourselves to accelerate projects like ‘Kids’ Mode’ that we hope will make it a bit easier for parents to keep their kids entertained and learning while providing the peace of mind that they are in a wholesome and safe content environment,” said Devin Emery, Head of Growth for CuriosityStream. “We want to do what we can to support families and to help kids continue to engage their curiosity while spending more time at home.”

Launched by media visionary John Hendricks, CuriosityStream is the award-winning destination for documentary series and features covering every topic from space exploration to adventure to the secret life of pets. With thousands of titles, including exclusive originals, CuriosityStream delivers shows across the full spectrum of the non-fiction genre.
