The sports streaming platform has teamed up with the actor’s ad agency Maximum Effort for a multi-year partnership that includes an exclusive first look at numerous series.

June 20 will see the launch of the Maximum Effort Channel, featuring the debut of the partnership’s first original show called Bedtime Stories with Ryan. In the promo spot, viewers see the actor read new and classic tales to soothe your mind and soul (and also his own).

“We’re so happy to create a program with the express goal of putting people to sleep. This show has actually been a dream of mine for a while,” said Reynolds. “Storytime is a nighttime staple in our home and is a daily reminder of the power of storytelling. We’re extremely grateful to our always amazing partners at Autodesk for helping bring this show to life with their design and make the platform.”

Software corporation Autodesk has signed on as the show’s official Imagination Sponsor.

“Autodesk software, used by moviemakers, engineers, and architects to design and make the world around us, also helps the next generation bring their powerful imaginations to life. That’s why we’re thrilled to be the official sponsor of Bedtime Stories with Ryan – a series which inspires these same imaginations,” said Dara Treseder, chief marketing officer at Autodesk.

“As part of this work, we are proud to offer students and educators free educational access to our software, helping bright young minds transform their most creative dreams into reality and one day, literally build a better world.”

This is the first show announcement for Maximum Effort Channel, but it will soon be home to original and classic TV and movies. It will be available on Fubo and additional streaming platforms to be announced.
