Exclusive: Wheelhouse DNA, Canada’s Frederator Studios and social media comedy star Adam Waheed are joining forces for an animated comedy series.
We hear the unnamed series is now in development ahead of production, marking the first partnership between Wheelhouse DNA and Frederator and series writing and starring debut for Waheed, who’s better known as Adam W.
Set in ancient Egypt where the gods are real, aliens built the pyramids and the afterlife exists, the 10-episode series follows a lovable royal buffoon (Waheed) who finds himself suddenly thrust on the throne.
Waheed co-created the series with Spencer Strasmore, and the pair are now developing a slate of digital, TV and film projects. Strasmore was previously a producer and development exec at Mark Wahlberg and Stephen Levinson’s production company Unrealistic Ideas.
Waheed is one of social media’s biggest comedy stars, with an accumulated 11.5 billion views in 2022 alone.

Starting in the fall, YouTube will become the official home of the NFL Sunday Ticket. In order to build hype for a package that will cost it a reported $2 billion per year, the leading video platform is sending a whole convoy of creators to the NFL Draft. Beginning on April 27, personalities like Jesser, Ryan Trahan, and Lisa Nguyen will be on the ground in Kansas City, where they’ll report live as the top football amateurs join professional teams.
The NFL previously announced a partnership with creator groups Amp and RDCWorld, who will contest a flag football game during the third day of the draft. But that won’t be the only influencer-led spectacle that will take place in K.C. during the biggest weekend of the NFL offseason. In fact, the collabs between creators and football stars began before the first pick was announced and will continue throughout all seven rounds.

Have you ever wondered what would happen if you combined Shark Tank with influencer marketing? Karat Financial‘s new series shows us what that concept looks like.
The fintech company, which is known for launching a credit card that is used by many top creators, has debuted a show that helps startups go Supernova. The program gives founders the opportunity to pitch their products to a dragons’ den of YouTube and TikTok stars. Like on Shark Tank, the founders who appear on Supernova are looking to secure support. But in addition to providing straightforward investments, the featured influencers can back the startups they like by coming on board as a “creator partner.”
Karat held its first Supernova event back in April. Encouraged by positive feedback, the financial firm set up another round of pitches in August, and it secured a larger venue with help from sponsor Breeze. Karat then assembled...
