NEWS | Competition for Netflix & Amazon? Facebook launching VOD-Service

in #story7 years ago

Facebook wants to expand their business further and is now targeting the Video on Demand market competing against Netflix and Co. And they already have a new show in the making, featuring Elizabeth Olsen.

The Series is yet to be named but is featuring Elizabeth Olsen in the main role and producer. The star from Marvel Avengers plays the role of a widow which seeks solace in past relationship partners.

Writer Kit Steinkellner (Z: The Beginning of Everything) is the mastermind behind the idea and is joined by Lizzy Weiss (Switched at birth) as Showrunner, and James Ponsoldt (Masters of None) as Director of the Pilot episode.

Europeans have to be patient since Facebook Watch is only available in the US at the moment, but with Facebook expanding more and more it should only be a matter of time it makes its way overseas.
