Today our friends at Fuse, today announced the renewal of three original series: BIG FREEDIA: QUEEN OF BOUNCE, FLUFFY BREAKS EVEN and TRANSCENDENT.
These renewals follow a successful September 30 re-launch of the network which saw ratings and audience growth in its core demos driven by the performance of original programming.
BIG FREEDIA, which recently concluded its fourth season with a special one-hour finale on November 11, continues to be the network’s top original program among its core Adults 18-34 audience. Meanwhile, new series TRANSCENDENT and FLUFFY BREAKS EVEN proved strong additions to the line-up, as Fuse expanded its programming beyond music.
“By partnering with some of the most talented, creative people in television – both in front of and behind the camera – we have developed a line-up that is forming connections with an audience that has proven incredibly hard to reach: multicultural Millennials,” said Lynnette Ramirez, SVP, Original Content for Fuse Media. “Gabriel Iglesias is an extraordinary talent, and one of the most in-demand comic voices in the business; Big Freedia is larger than life and remains the star of the network’s most popular show; and thanks to our partners at World of Wonder, we not only get to keep bringing Freedia to our viewers, but also introduce the world to the stunning cast of our best new series ever among Millennials, Transcendent. We can’t wait to see the newest seasons of these series, and to announce our new programs in development in the coming weeks.”
