Amazon is beefing up their YA programming to lure young viewers to their streaming platform. They’ve acquired Panic, The Wilds, and College, all YA books that bring a young fan base with them. An Amazon Studios exec said that they are “actively pursuing projects that spark conversation and co-viewing,” an appeal to a growing trend in the way teens watch content together. The YA space has been getting bigger, with teen hits like Riverdale, 13 Reasons Why, and Love, Simon earning teens’ attention (and views). (THR)
