TikTok Creators Launch Original Series on Peacock

Los Angeles, CA – Three years ago, a group of TikTok creators joined NBCUniversal’s initiative to develop social media influencers into TV show creators. Now, four of these influencers are set to launch their original series on Peacock on May 19.

The upcoming shows include “Wiser Comedy” developed by Charlie Curtis-Beard, “The Kouncil,” created by a rising TikTok star, and “Older Hotter Wiser” from another popular creator. The exact details about the remaining shows are still under wraps.

In recent years, social media platforms like TikTok have opened doors for many young creators in Hollywood. Industry insiders now see TikTok as the “new TV.” Many influencers have transitioned to television roles, including Boman Martinez-Reid, who gained fame for his comedic impersonations of the Kardashians.

Another sign of TikTok’s influence in television came when the platform’s popular show “Group Chat” had its creator featured on the “Today Show.”

These developments highlight the growing intersection between social media and traditional television, and how new opportunities are created for content creators.
