LOS ANGELES, Nov. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Cineverse (NASDAQ: CNVS), a next-gen entertainment studio, today announced a new lineup of holiday and romance movies premiering on The Dove Channel, its women's entertainment streaming channel. The collection includes 12 heartwarming films from Nicely Entertainment, filled with festive cheer, romance and the magic of the holiday season, and builds off of Dove's recent record-breaking success with holiday entertainment.

Laugh. Dove." Featuring content ranging from light-hearted romances to inspiring dramas to holiday entertainment, Dove is "your home away from home" with a library of 200 romance and Christmas-themed movies.
"This winter, we're excited to give fans the gift of a holiday season overflowing with love and roll out Dove's new look and feel to all our platform partners, leading up to our 'Kissmas' Mega Marathon on Christmas Day," said Sara Burns, Cineverse Senior Vice President of Programming and Strategy. "As we continue to focus on bringing these high-quality stories to Dove, we anticipate closing out 2024 up 37% year over year in minutes watched across platforms."
