TORONTO, April 28, 2016 /CNW/ - On Tuesday, May 3, shomi members can start thinking "inside the box" when shomi launches on Xbox One.

Xbox One owners will also be able to stream exclusive and buzz-worthy series, like Mr. Robot, Mad Dogs, SuperMansion, and Catastrophe, along with day-and-date releases of hit series Empire, Jane the Virgin, Fresh Off the Boat, iZOMBIE, and The Originals.
