We’re excited to share some great news with the American Stories community.
Surviving Mann & Country Ball are now available on RELAY, expanding where and how fans can watch stories they love—anytime, anywhere.
What’s RELAY?
RELAY is a brand-new, indie-loving platform that just launched and is already turning heads in the film & TV world.
In the tradition of hit-making film festivals like SXSW, Relay aims to become a leading discovery platform for the water-cooler entertainment of tomorrow, and we’re very pleased, and proud to have our shows selected by them.
This is part of our ongoing mission to make American Stories content more accessible across multiple platforms, while still keeping our most loyal fans at the center of everything we do.
Here’s why everyone’s talking about Relay (and why we love it):
- Zero ads. Crystal-clear streaming.
- Only $4.99/month after your free month (but totally cancel anytime).
- Over 20,000 hand-curated independent titles (including ours) with more arriving every week.
- Manual curation and recommendations mean algorithms won’t cramp your viewing style.
- Built from the ground up to champion real stories and real storytellers (exactly the kind of shows we make).
To mark the launch, we’ve shared free one-month access codes with our registered fans.
If you’re already on our official fan list, you’ve been sent these codes by email.
If you’re not registered yet, head over to AmericanStories.tv/Insider to become a fan and receive updates and perks like this.
Either way, we’re excited to have our shows available on ON RELAY and to keep expanding where fans can watch American Stories.
The Relay app is also available on Roku & Apple TV but be sure to create your account in-app with your iOS or Android code to get the free 30 days.
What’s Next?
More American Stories titles will appear on Relay in 2026, so once you’re in, you can catch them there. In the meantime, binge away this holiday season with Surviving Mann, Country Ball and Relay’s massive collection of over 20,000 more indie standouts.
We’re grateful for our American Stories community and excited to keep bringing our shows to new platforms like RELAY. Enjoy the free month, binge Surviving Mann and Country Ball, and explore what RELAY has to offer. More stories—and more ways to watch them—are coming soon.
