New Web Show From 'lonelygirl15' Creators Debuts September 20

by Terrence O'Brien on August 27, 2008 at 03:44 PM


The team behind 'lonelygirl15,' the fake teenager YouTube video phenomenon that changed the way people thought about episodic Web content, are getting fired up for yet another show that takes place in the same universe as 'lonelygirl' and its spin off 'Kate Modern.' The new show, 'LG15: The Resistance,' is set to premier on September 20, and won't be as open ended as the original 'lonelygirl.'

'The Resistance' will have new videos, photos, and blog posts daily, but will also reach out to a more casual audience by releasing weekly 6-8 minute episodes that will tie up the weeks plot developments. 12 of these weekly episodes will be released over three months before a 12 episodes in 12 hours marathon-like season finally wraps up the story line.

Though we're sure the team won't be abandoning its community roots, the more linear story line and concessions to casual audiences will likely limit the amount of audience interaction this time around. Even with those caveats, we're interested to see what these ARG (Alternate Reality Game) pioneers have dreamed up this time. Check out the company's Web site, EQAL.com, for up to date information as the launch date approaches. [From: NewTeeVee]
