Fusion to Launch ‘Outpost’ Miniseries on Snapchat (Exclusive)

Action-adventure to premiere for international Discover users ahead of TV debut

Fusion will premiere the Snapchat miniseries, “Outpost,” on February 25th, the network plans to announce Wednesday.

The action-adventure series will air on Fusion’s Discover platform internationally every Wednesday for the next seven weeks before debuting on Fusion TV later this year.

The series takes viewers to “unique places, telling untold stories from some of the most exciting destinations around the world,” the network said. In addition to the Snapchat series, Fusion has begun producing minute-long news updates — dubbed “News in a Snap” — for Fusion’s international Snapchat audience featuring comical headlines.

Fusion launched its Snapchat Discover channel in January. The latest offering for international Snapchat users is part of the network’s plan to make its Discover platform available to U.S. users.

“The premiere of ‘Outpost’ on Snapchat is just one example of how we are engaging with this young, diverse generation everywhere they consume content — from our television network and web platform to emerging social platforms,” said Fusion CEO Isaac Lee. “Fusion is committed to finding dynamic ways to harness the power of Snapchat to serve an ultra-connected, global audience with stories that inform, entertain, and provoke.”
