If you own a Roku TV or streaming device, your home screen is about to look very different. Roku just unveiled its most significant home screen redesign in over ten years, rolling out today across all Roku TVs and streaming devices in the US.

Here is everything that is new on your Roku home screen

The redesign introduces several new features built around getting you to content faster. The Quick Access section your most-used apps front and center, powered by AI that continuously adapts to your habits. You can also manually add or remove apps if you prefer to be in control.

At the top of the screen, Top Picks for You is an expanded, personalized content section showing what you love to watch, what is trending on Roku, and the biggest entertainment of the moment.

A new For You destination goes deeper, pulling fresh personalized picks based on your interests. The Subscriptions destination brings together content from all your paid streaming services in one place, so you are not hunting across apps.

Destinations are genre and mood-based hubs spanning comedy, movies, sports, and more, with context-aware search that adapts depending on where you are browsing.

Your Daily Scoop is a real-time AI-powered row that surfaces breakout shows and cultural trends updated hourly. The home screen menu is now collapsible, keeping the interface clean until you need it.

Shortcuts like Continue Watching, Sleep Timer, and Save List are also easier to reach. There is even a new Roku City tile that takes you into an interactive version of the iconic screensaver, complete with Daily Trivia, Roklue and retro games like Roku City Dash.

When will your Roku get the new home screen?

The update rolls out automatically starting today in the US, so just wait for your device to update itself. Roku founder and CEO Anthony Wood says every change was grounded in what users actually do and need, shaped by extensive viewer feedback and behavioral data. Last month, Roku also added six free channels covering classic sitcoms, reality TV, and films.

Prime Video’s Spider-Noir is the bold superhero show that the Spider-Man franchise desperately needs
Here's how Nicolas Cage's noir detective series reinvigorates the Spider-Man franchise

For several years now, every Spider-Man show and film has struggled to exist without Peter Parker. Some have explored the Multiverse and followed new web-slingers, while others have tried and failed to build their own cinematic universe with films like Venom and Morbius. Though the Spider-Verse films have achieved great success, few spin-offs have justified their existence by advancing the franchise with new stories.

That has changed with Prime Video's new show, Spider-Noir. In this Nicolas Cage-led series, web-slinging private investigator Ben Reilly takes on a case involving super-powered people like him in 1930s New York. Instead of a traditional superhero series, the show offers a hard-boiled detective story very different from the many other Spider-Man films and shows we've seen so far.

EXCLUSIVE: Backrooms director and cast break down turning a viral webseries into one of A24’s most unsettling horror films
Here's how director Kane Parsons turned Backrooms into an A24 horror film

In recent years, multiple popular YouTubers have successfully made the leap into horror filmmaking, and A24’s Backrooms may be the most ambitious example yet. Directed by 20-year-old Kane Parsons, Backrooms follows therapist Mary (Renate Reinsve) as she searches for her patient Carl (Chiwetel Ejiofor) after he vanishes into a strange alternate dimension hidden behind his furniture store.

Though Backrooms is based on an internet creepypasta, Parsons popularized the concept through his viral YouTube shorts, transforming an online myth into one of the internet’s defining modern horror phenomena. With his feature-length debut, Parsons joins the list of online creators-turned-filmmakers, including RackaRacka (Talk to Me), Chris Stuckmann (Shelby Oaks), Markiplier (Iron Lung), and Curry Barker (Obsession). The film also continues the rise of liminal horror stories like Skinamarink and I Saw the TV Glow.
