You can stream Pluto TV on Google Chromecast. Here’s how to sign up, download, install, and start streaming Pluto TV using your Google Chromecast. Learn how to get the most out of your Google Chromecast while using Pluto TV.


Pluto TV

Pluto TV is a free live TV streaming service that provides more than 350 channels of live TV and thousands of on demand movies and TV shows.

Most of what you’ll find on Pluto TV qualifies as “background television.” It’s fine to keep on while you’re scrolling on your phone or cooking something in the kitchen.

Because these aren’t traditional live TV channels, it’s not a great option for live events, news, or sports, but it’s a solid choice for cord cutters who want to supplement their other services with some “comfort food” TV. You’ll find channels dedicated to “Star Trek,” “CSI,” “Jersey Shore,” “Survivor,” and “The Amazing Race.”

Google Chromecast

Google Chromecast is a streaming device that can be used to watch Live TV Streaming Services and On Demand Streaming Services.

TV Shows

On demand TV shows are essentially the same offered on Paramount-owned linear channels. If it aired on CBS, Comedy Central, MTV, or BET, there’s a chance you’ll find reruns on Pluto TV. You’ll see a lot of older shows like “The Nanny,” “Party of Five,” “Deal or No Deal,” “The Carol Burnett Show,” “Becker,” “Melrose Place,” “MacGyver,” and “Three’s Company.”

There’s also a ton of reality programming on demand, like “Survivor,” “Bridezillas,” “Four Weddings,” “Kitchen Nightmares,” “I Love New York,” “Fear Factor,” and “American Pickers.”

You’ll be able to watch some local news from CBS affiliates in markets like New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Chicago, Dallas, Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh.

Movies

Pluto TV features movies from major studios that are available on demand or on their linear streaming channels.

While there is a fair amount of B-movie dreck, there are some gems available. As of this writing, Pluto TV offers on demand aces like “Titanic,” “Forrest Gump,” “Saving Private Ryan,” “Beverly Hills Cop,” “A League of Their Own,” “Anchorman,” and “Footloose.”

The service has dedicated live-streaming channels for action, comedy, drama, romance, documentary, westerns, and horror movies.

Kids

Pluto TV does have a decent selection of family movies and shows. Popular movies include “The Secret of NIMH,” “The Black Stallion,” “Ernest Goes to School,” and “A Turtle’s Tale.”

Cartoons include “Garfield Specials,” “Super Wings,” “Street Sharks,” and “Bananas in Pyjamas.”
