ANGELES, June 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Venture 10
Studio Group, in partnership with Wright Productions and Crackle, a
division of Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment, today
announced the second season of the hit reality series Follow
Me will premiere exclusively on the free streaming service on
June 13. Sponsored by Mars Wrigley, the 10-episode series shows fans
what it takes to build a brand as an influencer in the social media
age.
Follow Me follows aspiring stars– from the worlds of
Fashion, Comedy, Beauty, Cosplay, Skateboarding, Music and more.
Each contestant brings their unique talents, backgrounds, and
strategic approaches to success – as they engage in business-themed
challenges throughout the Bethany Mota-hosted series. Show
participants work in the "creator's studio" and compete in various
social media-based challenges. Contestants have access to guidance
from a global mix of top influencer guest judges who together have
reached hundreds of millions of followers and billions of views –
including Kika Kim, Jordyn Jones, and Jojo
Sim. At the end of each episode, the contestant with the
least number of votes is eliminated. The contestant with the most
votes at the end of the competition will be crowned the winner by
the judges and receive the $50,000
prize.
This season, contestants will once again be challenged to craft
compelling content inspired by Mars
Wrigley's iconic brand portfolio, including favorites like
M&M'S®, SKITTLES®, SNICKERS®, and HUBBA BUBBA®, alongside other
esteemed brand partners, including Valley Rays and Versus
Games.
Produced by Venture 10 Studio Group and Wright Productions, the
team behind the successful first season of Follow Me, which
garnered over 700 million impressions and attracted millions of
viewers in the 18-34 demographic, the upcoming season promises even
greater excitement and engagement.
Executive Producer Rick De Oliveira, known for his work on
reality hits such as The Challenge and Love and Hip-Hop Miami,
expressed enthusiasm for the second season, "We're
taking Follow Me to new heights in Season Two. As we
continue to push boundaries and create compelling content, we're
thrilled to have Mars back for another season as our main branded
partner. As the program's success grows, we're committed to
delivering many more hits for our partners with our dedicated team
at V10," he said.
In addition to Mota and De Oliveira, the series is
executive produced by Chance Wright,
John Stevens, Jason Newman, Derek
Daugherty, and Zach
Kozek.
The first season of Follow Me premiered in May of 2023
across a large group of platforms, including Amazon Freevee, Roku,
Tubi, Samsung+, Pluto, and FilmRise, with a reach of over
290M homes globally. The first season
featured eight contestants, including a model, personal trainer,
gamer, and dancer, among others, with branded moments from
sponsors, including Mars Wrigley,
Six Flags, Bob's Discount Furniture, Dave & Busters, and Versus
Games.
Crackle is available on a wide range of devices, including Roku,
Amazon Fire, Vizio, Samsung, and Android TVs, along with the
