Sony Pictures Television has sealed a multiyear, first-look deal with content creator Thea Von Engelbrechten, who’s behind the popular “Moletown Drama” social platforms — which boast 2.5 million TikTok followers and 1 million Instagram followers.

As part of the deal, Sony has the first-look rights to develop and produce original series from Von Engelbrechten. First up is the new microdrama “Hazelwood,” which premieres Friday, Nov. 13, on YouTube. Described as a “darkly comedic animated microseries,” the “Hazelwood” episodes (which will all be just a few minutes long) will roll out every Friday on YouTube then move to TikTok and Instagram on Sundays.
