Over the past year, Go90 has shown a proclivity for distributing sports comedies, which populate its Go90 Zone vertical. The latest addition to that number is In The Rough, a series from Complex Networks’ RatedRed set at a not-so-classy golf course.
In The Rough stars Ryan Merriman as a young golfer who must save the course he plays on from a buyout attempt. The fate of the course, as in many sports comedies, is determined through a game, during which Merriman and his cohorts do whatever it takes to keep the land grabbers from seizing victory.
The cast of In The Rough includes a number of performers who have found success through social media. Co-star Sunny Mabrey, for example, received more than 680 million loops on Vine, while supporting actress Lara Sebastian touts a six-digit follower count on Instagram.
For RatedRed, which refers to itself as a platform aimed at millennials in America’s heartland, In The Rough is the latest partnership with Go90; both of those properties are at least partially owned by Verizon. The official producers of the new show are Verizon Hearst Media Partners in association with NoCoast Entertainment.
Three episodes of In The Rough are currently available. You can find them on the web, or through the Go90 app, which is available for both iOS and Android.
