Peacock trained TikTokers to make content, and now four creators are getting original series

In Brief: A decade after an initiative launched by NBCUniversal, four TikTokers are set to launch their original series on Peacock, marking a significant shift as social media expands opportunities for young creators in Hollywood. The shows, premiering on May 19, include "The Warehouse Phase," "The K council," "Older Hotter Wiser," and "People Like Me." This marks the latest phase in a trend where TikTok is increasingly recognized as a platform for television talent, with recent examples like Boman Martinez-Reid and the creator of "Group Chat" landing roles on major TV shows.
