In this guide, I will show you how to install Seren Addon on Kodi 21 Omega and Kodi 20 Nexus. The detailed instructions work on all Kodi-supported platforms, including Android devices such as FireStick, Mobiles, and tablets, iOS devices like iPhones and iPads, and Computers, including Mac and Windows.
What is Seren Addon?
Seren is an on-demand Kodi addon that lets you stream shows, movies, and more with a simple interface and instant playback.
With Seren, you can access a huge library of films and TV shows.
Unlike many free addons, Seren only works with premium services, such as Real-Debrid, All Debrid, and Premiumize. One of the benefits of using only premium links is the guarantee of high-quality streams and minimal buffering.
Seren also allows you to install custom providers for even more streaming options. One of the best providers for Seren is a4kScrapers, a known provider for other addons like a4kStreaming.
If you are looking for a reliable Kodi addon with a huge library of movies and TV shows, Seren is an excellent choice.
Attention Kodi Users!
Governments and ISPs across the world monitor your online activities. If you use third-party Kodi addons, you should always use a good Kodi VPN and hide your identity so your streaming experience doesn’t take a bad turn. Currently, your IP is visible to everyone.
I use ExpressVPN, the fastest and most secure VPN in the industry. It is very easy to install on any device, including Amazon Fire TV Stick, PC, Mac, and Smartphones. Also, it comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you don't like their service, you can always ask for a refund. ExpressVPN also has a special deal where you can get 4 months free and save 61% on the 2-year plan.

Is Seren Safe & Legal?
Third-party addons like Seren always raise safety concerns because they are hosted on unverified repositories. To protect your data and devices, you must scan them for malicious files before installing them.
I tested Nixgate’s zip file, the repository that hosts Seren, on VirusTotal to check for viruses and other malware. As you can see in the screenshot below, the repository doesn’t contain any malicious files.
Like other Kodi addons, Seren is an open-source plugin that pulls streaming links from external sites. The addon itself is legal, but using it to stream copyrighted content without permission may violate copyright laws in your country.
At FireStickTricks.com, we cannot verify Seren’s legal status. Legitimacy depends on the content sources and your country’s copyright protection laws.
That said, we don’t condone piracy and recommend only watching publicly available content. For added security and privacy, we suggest using a trusted VPN service when streaming on Kodi. I trust and use ExpressVPN on all my devices.
How to Install Seren Kodi Addon
Installing third-party addons like Seren is not allowed on Kodi. You will be required to change certain Kodi settings to allow installation from unknown sources. Given below are the steps to prepare Kodi to install the Seren Kodi addon:

Before you start streaming with Kodi Addons or Builds, I would like to warn you that everything you stream on Kodi is visible to your ISP and Government. This means, streaming copyrighted content (free movies, TV shows, live TV, and Sports) might get you into legal trouble.
Thankfully, there is a foolproof way to keep all your streaming activities hidden from your ISP and the Government. All you need is a good VPN for Kodi. A VPN will mask your original IP which is and will help you bypass Online Surveillance, ISP throttling, and content geo-restrictions.
I personally use and recommend ExpressVPN, which is the fastest and most secure VPN. It is compatible with all kinds of streaming apps and devices.
NOTE: We do not encourage the violation of copyright laws. But, what if you end up streaming content from an illegitimate source unintentionally? It is not always easy to tell the difference between a legit and illegal source.
So, before you start streaming on Kodi, here's how to get VPN protection in 3 simple steps.
Step 1: Get the ExpressVPN subscription HERE. It comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Meaning, you can use it free for the first 30-days and if you are not satisfied with the performance (which is highly unlikely), you can ask for a full refund.
Step 2: Click HERE to download and install the ExpressVPN app on your streaming device. If you are using a FireStick, I have given the exact steps starting with Step 4 below.
Step 3: Click the Power icon to connect to a VPN server. That's all. Your connection is now secure with the fastest and best VPN for Kodi.
The following are the steps to install Kodi VPN on your Fire TV devices. If you have other streaming devices, follow Step 1-3 above.
Step 4: Subscribe to ExpressVPN HERE (if not subscribed already).
Step 5: Go to Fire TV Stick home screen. Click Find followed by Search option (see image below).
Step 6: Type Expressvpn in the search bar and select when it shows up.
Step 7: Click Download.
Step 8: Open the ExpressVPN app and Sign in using the email ID and password that you created while buying the ExpressVPN subscription.
Step 9: Click the Power icon to connect to a VPN server. That’s all. Your FireStick is now secured with the fastest VPN.
