Roku is about to get some star power. Starz Play, the cable network’s on-demand service, launched on Roku earlier today. Once a little fish in the big pond of premium cable, the network has raised its profile in recent years with a string of critically acclaimed original series like Outlander, Power and Blunt Talk. Now viewers can watch these shows and more (including the Starz’s massive library of movies) on Roku Players and Roku TV.
