Today, March 30, 2016, Youtube Red will debut two all-new original series exclusively to members: Foursome from AWESOMENESSTV and Prank Academy from PrankVsPrank. Youtube Red Original series are part of YouTube's commitment to invest in new original shows and movies featuring some of the platform's most popular stars.
Foursome follows four best friends who form an unbreakable bond as they take on high school's true core curriculum: hookups, breakups and makeups. The six-episode series stars Jenn McAllister (JennXPenn), Logan Paul, and Rickey Thompson. Andie, played by McAllister, is UNDATEABLE -- thanks to her older brother Alec (Paul), the most popular guy in high school who makes sure no guy comes near her. Fortunately, Andie has her three best friends to help her shake the little sister stigma and navigate the hormone-induced, angst-filled sea that is high school.
Prank Academy features the duo behind YouTube's biggest prank channels-- Jesse and Jeana of PrankVsPrank and BFvsGF. Over 18 episodes, they mentor some of YouTube's biggest stars, teaching them how to pull off some of the most ambitious, complicated and hilarious pranks yet. Guest stars include Joey Graceffa, iJustine, Miranda Sings, VitalyzdTV, Lilly Singh, Harley Morenstein and more.
