Streamup, fresh off an exclusive deal with notable YouTube duo BriaAndChrissy, is making some more big moves within the realm of original content. The streaming video service, which competes with platforms like Periscope, Meerkat, and YouNow, has revealed its first full slate of original programs.
The slate, as first reported by Variety, includes both a combination of scripted and unscripted programs. Will Keenan, Streamup’s President, previously led the Endemol Beyond multi-channel network, and in gathering creative partners for Streamup, Keenan has turned to some of his old pals. Andy Milonakis, for example, will host a cooking show on the streaming platform, after launching a food series with Endemol Beyond last year
.Other programs in Streamup’s slate include a live stream of South Park co-creator Trey Parker’s Cannibal! The Musical, a pair of talk shows, and a program focused on sports betting. “Show business is being reinvented yet again,” said Keenan, “so Streamup’s now reinventing the talk show, the sports show, the cooking show and the live stage musical special event, among other content formats.”
Variety’s report did not list any planned airdates for Streamup’s upcoming originals.
