Liked, a new comedy series about a millennial trying to become a social media star and even lying to achieve fame, was unveiled by Anthony and VIS president JC Acosta during a keynote session as part of Digital MipTV this afternoon.

It follows the pair’s collaboration on animated kids’ series Gloria Wants To Know It All and is part of a first-look deal announceed in November.

Gloria Wants To Know It All follows an alpaca from the city who spends time at her grandfather’s house in the country, and as a result learns about Latin American culture.

The series will feature the music of Anthony, who is both exec producer and executive music producer for the show. As well as VIS and Magnus, the show has Latin prodco Lanugo Media and Mundoloco Animation Studios on board.

Acosta said: “Our continued partnership with Magnus Studios and a talented artist like Marc is a testament to our studio’s commitment to telling compelling, unique stories that resonate with audiences around the world. We couldn’t be more excited to announce Liked, and give fans a sneak peek of Gloria Wants To Know It All.”

Anthony said: “We are very excited and it is an honour to have the opportunity to work with ViacomCBS International Studios on these projects that mean so much to us and to share with the world stories that bring to light our culture.”
