Nickelodeon Orders Two New Virtually Interactive Series

Nickelodeon has ordered a pair of brand-new virtually interactive series set to bow this summer, the tentatively titled Group Chat: The Show and Game Face.

Group Chat: The Show (w/t), hosted by social media stars Annie LeBlanc and Jayden Bartels, is a video chat rundown of the week’s latest hot topics inspired by what kids are discussing on social media. The game show Game Face (w/t) features a star-studded panel guessing the identities of virtually disguised celebrity guests. The former premieres on Saturday, May 23, while the latter is slated to bow on Saturday, June 13.

Ashley Kaplan, senior VP of digital studios at Nickelodeon, said: “Group Chat: The Show and Game Face will bring together kids’ favorite celebrities and topics in a format meant to live across all Nickelodeon screens. The virtual filming of these shows will provide the fun escape kids crave, but also let them know that we understand what they’re going through and are listening to what they have to say.”
