Snapchat announces its new line-up of Snap Original series!

They look seriously binge-worthy - by Emma Norris
  • 26 Sep 2019

Binge-watching long TV series is great and all, but is there anything from addictive than watching other people's snaps?

This has defs been intensified by the addition of Snap Originals — because the high-quality series are even more interesting than watching vids of people in their cars with a dog-face filter on.

Now, the platform has amped up the addictiveness yet again with their new batch of Snapchat Original series!

WATCH: Snapchat becomes its own streaming service with new Snapchat Original series!

If you're not familiar, this feature is basically like a mini Netflix on your phone.

These premium, made-for-mobile shows are created by some of the word's greatest storytellers and cover themes like relationships, mental health and body image.

Announced yesterday, the new line-up includes eight brand new Snap Originals and a further four original series that have been renewed for additional seasons.

These range from an unscripted show celebrating an inspirational plus-sized dance squad, an anthology about mental illness and a show following transgender beauty influencer Nikita Dragun looking for love.

i would just like to take this moment to show my love and appreciation for all the gorgeous black women in my life and also to those that follow me. i was inspired to do this box braid wig because i find it so beautiful. too often there's a double standard when another person takes inspiration from black culture. suddenly it's a new trend or it's renamed to be something else. hearing stories of black women being sent home from school or work because of their braids is beyond disheartening. i will always use my platform to spread awareness and equality for all but especially for women! and that's on period love 💞

The full lineup includes:

Nikita Unfiltered: This up close and personal docuseries follows transgender beauty mogul Nikita Dragun as she reveals a vulnerable new side to herself that her millions of fans haven’t yet seen as she starts to date as a woman for the first time. Launches Summer 2020. 

Tekashi69 VS The World: This up-to-the-minute docuseries traces the rise and fall of controversial rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine, from his earliest days growing up in Brooklyn, through his chart-topping career and star-studded collaborations, to his trouble with the FBI and eventual incarceration. Docuseries launches Spring 2019.

The Honeybeez: The Honeybeez, Alabama State’s plus-size dance squad, is here to prove that dance is for everyone. These young, inspiring HBCU dancers let the haters be their motivators as they showcase their remarkable talents on the biggest collegiate stages. Premieres December 2019

Driven: This entourage of young entrepreneurs at PTG365 deliver flashy, custom cars to their high roller clients using nothing but their phones and a whole lot of hustle. The high end, exotic car industry will never be the same. Docuseries premieres Summer 2020

Save Me: When his online classmate and crush goes missing, isolated homeschooler Jason takes it upon himself to find and save her.  But when his search leads him to an off-the-grid "conscious community" that promotes human connection over digital devices, Jason’s character is tested in real life. Scripted series premieres Summer 2020.

Snap Original — Save Me

Mind Yourself: In this anthology series, each episode paints an honest and intimate portrait of a young person suffering or recovering from a mental health issue.  From OCD and body dysmorphia through depression and PTSD, the series gives a human face - and hope - to young people facing similar issues. Unscripted series premieres Summer 2020.

Everything’s Fine: Gemma is a college junior with big plans to kill it in the music industry while coping with a brand new bipolar diagnosis. Everything’s Fine is a comedy with an unflinching point of view on what it takes to manage a mental health condition (sometimes well, sometimes disastrously) while striving to be an overachiever.  Scripted series premieres Autumnn 2020; working title.

Players: Nash Brooks, son of famed NBA player Oscar Brooks and a rising star himself, relocates from Indiana to LA when his Dad is traded.  No longer a big fish in a small pond, he has to prove his worth at a fancy west LA private school where he's not even guaranteed a starting spot on the basketball team. Scripted series premieres Spring 2019

Yep, there's literally something for everyone and with each ep averaging five minutes or less, they're super easy to binge. Snap also announced it will be renewing some of its OG Snap Original faves, including Bringing Up Bhabie, Two Sides,  Kappa Crypto and The Dead Girls Detective Agency.
