Freeform launches social distancing PSA campaign
Cable network Freeform has launched a campaign on social media and other platforms encouraging viewers to practice social distancing.

If you're looking for movies to watch this weekend while you practice social distancing, look no further than Freeform.

Every weekend in April, Freeform is airing themed movie marathons featuring flicks like "The Incredibles," "Miss Congeniality," "Guardians of the Galaxy," "Holes" and "Pretty Woman." Each weekend has a different theme: "Chick Flick Weekend," "Super Hero Movie Weekend," "FunDay Weekend" or "Hunger Games Weekend." Scroll down to see the full schedule.

On Friday, April 3, the network is also airing a special marathon of its breakout comedy series "Everything's Gonna Be Okay" starting at 5:30 p.m. ET/PT.

The marathons are part of a broader multiplatform social distancing campaign launched by Freeform that encourages young adults to stay home. The network said it hopes the social media aspect of the campaign will "distract, educate and entertain fans while creating a sense of communal viewing."
