Pluto TV, the free ad-supported streaming television (FAST) service owned by Paramount, will celebrate America’s 250th birthday with a curated selection of 250 movies starting June 29.

Available through July 13, “Americana 2026” will be featured as a dedicated category in Pluto TV’s linear guide, positioned between Movies and Comedy.

The films were selected for spanning the people, places, historical moments and filmmakers that helped shape American cinema. The lineup crisscrosses the country and the decades, bringing together stories rooted in American history, music, sports, ambition, family and community from some of the industry’s most influential voices, including Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, Spike Lee, Sofia Coppola and Ava DuVernay.

The destination also brings together fan-favorite television series, including small-town favorites such as “Hart of Dixie,” “Nashville,” “Wildfire” and “Everwood.” On the More TV Drama channel, a “Yellowstone” marathon begins June 30, with a new season airing each day through July 5, when “Yellowstone” season five will be available to watch for free for the first time.

To see the collection, viewers can head straight to the full lineup on demand or through themed channels inspired by America’s people, places and stories.
