Maker Studios Teams with Nylon TV on New Series 'Oh, You Pretty Things!'

Maker Studios, a next-generation media and technology company and the world's largest provider of online video content for millennials, have announced a partnership with renowned fashion and lifestyle brand, NYLON. Together, Maker and NYLON will collaborate on original programming initiatives both for the NYLON TV Youtube channel as well as other cross-platform ventures. The first joint programming initiative will be Oh, You Pretty Things!, Maker's first-ever scripted drama series starring Francesca Eastwood. The 10-episode series follows a group of twenty-something trendsetters looking to make their big break in the underground music and fashion scene on the Eastside of Los Angeles.

Disney Acquires Maker Studios

Furthering its goal of bringing content to consumers on all the platforms they prefer, The Walt Disney Company has agreed to acquire Maker Studios, the leading network of online video content on YouTube.

Maker Studios shareholders will receive total consideration of $500 million, and a performance-linked earn-out of up to $450 million if the strong performance targets are met.

With more than 55,000 channels, 380 million subscribers and 5.5 billion views per month on YouTube, Maker has established itself as the top online video network for Millennials. (EDITOR'S NOTE: Last summer Maker Studios acquired Blip where episodes of WE LOVE SOAPS TV air).
