TV cashes in on viewers' heightened stress from current events

• HBO Max has ordered the series called "A World of Calm," which will feature celebrities like Nicole Kidman and Idris Elba. It's supposed to make users fall asleep while watching it.
• Quibi created a daily meditation series called "The Daily Chill" last year to help users relieve anxiety with ASMR videos.
• Snapchat says it's launching in in-app meditation experience with Headspace, a meditation app often used to help mitigate stress and anxiety.

The bottom line: Stress sells.
