TikTok Expands Its Original Content with a New Romantic Drama from Sam Morgan
TikTok Expands into Original Vertical Dramas with New Romantic Series
TikTok is making significant strides in the realm of original scripted content, announcing its newest venture into vertical dramas with a forthcoming romantic series.
The untitled series features actor Sam Morgan alongside Vanessa Von Schwarz, known for her role in Cheer Queen Returns To Slay. In this narrative, Morgan plays Andre Voss-Emerson, a carefree Silicon Valley playboy who has secretly harbored feelings for supermodel Clara Murphy, portrayed by Von Schwarz, since their high school days. The plot thickens when Clara returns to Andre’s life, now dating his brother, prompting him to consider whether risking everything is worth finally being chosen.
Morgan has an extensive background in vertical dramas, having previously starred in productions like No Mercy for the Cuckoo, The Maid with His Blood: Came Back to Burn, The Lady Boss’ Small Town Valentine, and A Mistaken Baby With the Mafia Enemy.
The new series is set to launch for free within TikTok’s newly established originals section, a significant move as most vertical dramas on the platform are typically behind paywalls.
Produced by 24K Onions, a company founded by filmmakers Yang Bohan and Sun Tianze, who are graduates of the American Film Institute, the series is a collaboration with TikTok, which serves as both distributor and partner on the intellectual property.
Morgan is represented by Brave Artists Management.
