Comedy series Terry the Tomboy features Lia Marie Johnson dealing with the trials and tribulations of life as a teenage tomboy. For The Janoskians, AwesomenessTV will Leverage their world tour, a new single (produced by multi-platinum producers OFM), and their Sony Music Australia record deal to help them achieve their goal of world domination in a series launching today, Janoskian Takeover.
