Tubi and TikTok select 12 creators for 10 original series
Tubi and TikTok have selected 12 creators to develop 10 original series through their Creatorverse Incubator. The slate includes Sabrina Brier's Asking for a Friend, Allie Tran's Scare Tours and Marc Sebastian's A Great Australian Gay Sidequest. Other projects bring animation and scripted comedy to the Fox-owned streaming platform. TikTok helped identify the participants, and Tubi says the resulting series will run exclusively on its service. The companies have not disclosed creator compensation or release dates in the announcements reviewed.
THE BREAKDOWN
Pitch a repeatable show premise and production plan alongside the creator's audience data. Negotiate a paid development stage before committing talent to a series or promotional schedule. Define the show's exclusive window separately from restrictions on the creator's existing social accounts. Retain ownership of pre-existing characters and formats, or price their transfer apart from the host's performance fee. Put social promotion deliverables in the agreement so the buyer cannot assume unlimited access to the creator's TikTok audience.
