Twitch is about to launch their own reality shows. The live gaming service already has a lineup of original series, like the popular dating and talk show The Rajj Show and podcast Dropped Frames, which focuses on life as a full-time streamer. Now, to “take advantage of the fact that its audiences are bigger than ever,” they’re funding a slate of unscripted series like game shows, dating shows, music and talk shows. The platform plans to spend $50,000 and $250,000 a week on four to 10 hours worth of new content, betting their new programming will “lure new talent” beyond just gamers. (The Verge, Bloomberg)
