Vine star-turned-YouTube and Instagram impresario Christian DelGrosso is set to star in a digital series for the nascent digital media company and streaming platform Blackpills.
Titled MOOOM and set to debut in May, the comedic series will deal with death and family. DelGrosso will play a man whose mother comes back from the dead to haunt and criticize him, leaving him no choice but to try to control her. “How do you manage a kinky, horny ghost craving to discover our world?” reads a plot synopsis provided by Blackpills.
Production is currently under way in Montreal. MOOOM was written by Edouard Pluvieux, directed by Andy King, and produced by Together Studios and Influencer Studios.
Twenty-three-year-old DelGrosso, a trained actor renowned for his comedy sketches, hails from Canada and counts a total of 14 million followers across all of his social channels and 3 billion lifetime views. He has also appeared in Fox Digital Studio
