Universal Cable Productions is tapping into Wattpad’s user-generation fiction community for TV show ideas. Utilizing Wattpad’s ability to mine through over 300 million original stories and identify trending themes, stories, and writers, UCP will be developing TV projects in hopes of drawing in a younger audience, “who are now growing up in a world where there will be many more options for entertainment.” Universal will also be turning to the platform’s 45 million readers to receive instant feedback on scripts.
