Peacock Launches Four Original Series from TikTok Creators May 19

Peacock is set to debut four new original scripted series on May 19, all developed and starring creators who first built significant followings on platforms like TikTok and Instagram. These shows—'The Warehouse Phase,' 'The Kouncil,' 'Older Hotter Wiser,' and 'People Like Me'—are the result of NBCUniversal’s Creator Accelerator Program, which aims to transition social media influencers into television showrunners. Each creator not only developed and wrote their respective series but also stars in them, bringing their distinctive voices and storytelling styles to long-form streaming content. NBCUniversal hopes this initiative will both nurture new talent for future programming and attract the creators' existing online audiences to Peacock. This move reflects a broader trend in the industry, with streaming platforms increasingly looking to social-first creators to drive original content. The launch marks a significant step in integrating influencer-driven programming into mainstream television.
