A+E AND SNAPCHAT TEAM UP TO CREATE ORIGINAL SHOW

Tuesday, February 28th, 2017

A+E Networks, in partnership with social media giant Snapchat, will soon debut a short-form series in which ex-couples reunite to hash out their problems and explore possible reconciliation. ‘Second Chance’ was produced by A+E’s new in-house digital agency 45th & Dean, marking the Networks’ first foray into mobile-first original content. It’s also the first unscripted dramatic series for Snapchat Shows not based on an existing brand, but, in a slight departure from the typical reality-show format, the melodrama is peppered with Snapchat-esque flourishes like handwritten messages across the video.

Described as “raw and relatable”, the original series fits into a broad development deal spearheaded by Snapchat Vice President of Content Nick Bell and 45th & Dean General Manager Paul Greenberg to create content for Snapchat’s Discover service, a platform accessible to users across the US, UK, Canada and Australia.

After ‘Second Chance’ premieres in April, the show will have an eight-week run, with a new episode dropping every week.

Regarding their recent collaboration and similar projects now in the works, Bell stated, “A+E’s investment in mobile storytelling is exactly what Snapchat Shows are all about.”

Kad saņēmām pirmās anotācijas no „Global Listings”, tās mūs patīkami pārsteidza. Tās ir viegli uztveramas, ērti lietojamas un vienmēr tiek sagatavotas laikā. Ir patīkami strādāt ar uzņēmumu, kas patiesi izprot TV programmas publicējošo žurnālu darba stilu.

„Global Listings” ir efektīvs un uzticams pakalpojumu sniedzējs, kura darbinieki ir ļoti pretimnākoši. Viņu galvenais „trumpis” ir tas, ka viņi nepārtraukti attīstās un ģenerē idejas, kā automatizēt un uzlabot savus pakalpojumus. Mēs esam ļoti apmierināti ar viņu darbu.
