NEW YORK, April 14, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- In its first standalone presentation to advertisers, Crackle, the television streaming network, announced today a stellar line-up of original programming. The wide variety of shows includes their first-ever one hour scripted series "The Art Of More," animated comedy series "SuperMansion," and JOE DIRT 2: BEAUTIFUL LOSER – the first ever made-for-digital sequel to a major motion picture. Jerry Seinfeld, Dennis Quaid, Kate Bosworth, Christian Cooke, David Spade, Seth Green and Brittany Daniel were all on hand at the Crackle Upfront presentation.

A trailblazer in the streaming space, Crackle has revolutionized content viewing with the presentation of the network's exciting new "ALWAYS ON" experience, powered by Adobe Primetime. As soon as a viewer launches the new Crackle, a scheduled program will immediately begin playing. Consumers can browse for something else in the newly created channel guide while continuing to watch what's currently playing. Rolling out exclusively on the Roku platform beginning in May and a variety of other platforms throughout the summer, the innovative new design combines the curated experience of streaming programming on demand with the simplicity of a programmed TV experience.

At Crackle, we are reimagining ad supported TV," said Eric Berger, Executive Vice President of Digital Networks for Sony Pictures Television and GM, Crackle.  "With compelling programming and an innovative new viewing experience, Crackle is the perfect combination of linear television and on demand that provides advertisers with additive solutions that capitalize on the best of both worlds."

Crackle's new slate features original programming across a variety of genres and involves top Hollywood talent including Jerry Seinfeld, Bryan Cranston, Dennis Quaid, David Spade, Kate Bosworth, Christian Cooke, Seth Green, Dan Patrick, Keegan-Michael Key, Christopher Walken, Brittany Daniel, Patrick Warburton, Mark McGrath, Jillian Bell, Dennis Miller, Adam Beach, Kevin Farley, Charlotte McKinney, Milo Ventimiglia, Bill Maher, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Steve Harvey, Stephen Colbert, Trevor Noah and Jim Carrey.

In this sequel to the 2001 cult favorite, David Spade ("Rules of Engagement") returns as the mullet-wearing, rock and roll loving, down on his luck white-trash-hero who embarks on another epic journey, this time through the recent past, the heartland of America - and his own mind - to get back to his loved ones. Joe Dirt is back with a vengeance, and a mop. David Spade reprises his role alongside Oscar winner Christopher Walken (WEDDING CRASHERS), Brittany Daniel ("The Game"), Dennis Miller, Adam Beach (FLAGS OF OUR FATHERS). Patrick Warburton ("Rules of Engagement"), Mark McGrath (SHARKNADO 2), Charlotte McKinney ("Dancing with the Stars") and Kevin Farley also star in the sequel.

The Art Of More is a groundbreaking drama starring Dennis Quaid ("Vegas," ANY GIVEN SUNDAY) that goes into the underbelly and surprisingly cutthroat world of premium auction houses. We follow a blue collar young man, Graham Connor, played by Christian Cooke ("Magic City") who leverages his way into this exclusive realm by exploiting connections to antiquities smuggling rings he was exposed to as a soldier in Iraq. Kate Bosworth (STILL ALICE) plays the role of Roxanna Whitney, daughter of the CEO of one of the two warring auction houses—and a leading account executive. Although she was born into this exclusive world and thrives in it, she is riddled with insecurities that drive her to be a formidable executive in her own right.
