New Form Digital said it will develop and produce six scripted series for go90, Verizon’s mobile-first video service for millennial audiences that recently debuted as an invitation-only beta.
The following six original series will premiere on go90 over the next year, with 12-episode runs for each:

#DoOver (working title): What if you could repeat the most important day of your life until you perfected it?

Created and written by Kathleen Grace and Shawn Dempewolff-Barrett.
Miss Earth (working title): An intergalactic sci-fi comedy following Victoria Young, a pageant queen on Earth, who takes the place of her battle-tested twin sister in a competition with all of humanity at stake. Created by and starring Anna Akana.
Mr. Student Body President (working title): A dark political comedy about an incredibly likable and charming teenage dictator. Ferris Bueller meets Frank Underwood. Created and directed by Ryan Hunter and Jack Ferry.
Cold (working title): A dramatic crime series about a teenage girl who seeks out her birth parents only to find that her separation from them occurred due to significant tragedy. In her efforts to uncover what really happened, she explores the town where she would have grown up, finding that although seemingly quaint - it is a place with many secrets. Created and directed by Emily Diana Ruth.
And one additional series to be announced shortly.
