AWESOMENESS DOUBLES UP ON NEW REALITY SHOWS STARRING
TWINS VERONICA AND VANESSA MERRELL, NIKI AND GABI DEMARTINO


Share it: @AwesomenessTV #MysteryTwinBin #Twintervention #TwinMyHeart

LOS ANGELES—Oct. 13, 2020—Gen Z studio Awesomeness, a subsidiary of ViacomCBS, today announced two new reality shows featuring two pairs of twin stars: Mystery Twin Bin, starring Veronica and Vanessa Merrell, launches October 17th and Twintervention, starring Niki and Gabi DeMartino, launches December 11th.  In addition, season 3 of the Merrell Twins’ hit AwesomenessTV dating show Twin My Heart returns November 28th with new bachelor Nate Wyatt, a member of TikTok collective Hype House. The full twin slate will premiere on AwesomenessTV’s YouTube channel.

In Mystery Twin Bin, the Merrell Twins are in for the surprise of their lives as Awesomeness sends Vanessa and Veronica a mystery bin containing clues and items for that day’s challenge. It will be twin vs. twin as they compete to win across six episodes. In addition to the new series, the Merrells will return for season 3 of their hit dating show Twin My Heart, which will  see the twins help new bachelor Nate Wyatt find his one true love through a series of competitions and challenges. Season 2 of Twin My Heart, which premiered in February and saw the girls find love for their best friends Franny and Nezza, has 17 million views to date.

Across six episodes, Twintervention follows identical but polar-opposite twin sisters Niki and Gabi DeMartino. In front of the camera, they have built a successful YouTube empire, share a fun friend group, and vacation together on AwesomenessTV’s longtime Niki & Gabi series. But behind the scenes, their sisterly relationship is at its breaking point. Twintervention will put the twin’s relationship to the test and ultimately crown one of them as “Sister of the Year.”  Coached by a panel of experts with visits from surprise guests, Niki and Gabi will have to face their problems to compete in a series of challenges that will either make or break their bond as sisters. The new series follows season 5 of Niki and Gabi’s hit AwesomenessTV series, Niki & Gabi Take Bahamas, which has over 12 million views to date.

The twins have also been nominated for several Teen Choice Awards, as well as a Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards 2020 in the category of "Favorite Female Social Star."

Niki DeMar and Gabi DeMartino are the twin recording artists, content creators and influencers who have over 9.5 million subscribers and over one billion views since launching their “Niki & Gabi” YouTube channel in 2012. The girls also each have their own successful channels, Niki with “Niki DeMar” and Gabi with “Fancy Vlogs by Gab.” Aside from YouTube, Niki and Gabi have received much praise in the music world for their singles “FIRST,” “RU” and “Hair Tie,” their EP “individual” and now their solo music.

ViacomCBS to Roll Out ‘No Diversity, No Commission’ Policy Globally

ViacomCBS Networks International (VCNI) is rolling out a company-wide “No Diversity, No Commission” production policy to promote diversity, equity and inclusion. Under the new policy, all new international productions will need to be made by a diverse team.


This policy was originally launched by ViacomCBS Networks UK in July, but it will now apply to VCNI’s business across five continents and more than 180 countries.

The policy requires production companies to adhere to diversity guidelines before budgets are signed off and productions are approved to begin. Once budgets have been set, the commissioner or project lead will check for appropriate diversity and recommend improvements as needed. The policy also aims to increase representation behind the camera to ensure that a variety of balanced, diverse voices are involved in all aspects of production, according to a ViacomCBS press release.

VCNI includes brands such as Nickelodeon, Network 10 in Australia, Channel 5 in the UK, Telefe in Argentina, Viacom 18 in India, ViacomCBS International Studios, MTV, Comedy Central, BET, Paramount Network and Pluto TV.

“Expanding ‘No Diversity, No Commission’ to our entire international organization is an important strategic move for VCNI,” said David Lynn, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and president VCNI. “ViacomCBS Networks International creates and distributes content to audiences all over the world. This approach will ensure that we are both reflecting our audience, as well as elevating new diverse creative voices. Change requires thorough research, careful planning, and immense care, and we’re looking forward to creating impactful, sustainable change through the power of our networks, partnerships, platforms and brands.”

As part of its inclusion strategy, VCNI has unveiled two further initiatives: The Global Content, Diverse Voices program will identify global scripted content that elevates underrepresented cultures across both Youth & Entertainment and Kids & Family brands; Alongside that, Elevating Diverse Creators will mean that in Latin America, 25 percent of ViacomCBS International Studios’ budget will be allocated to the education and development of projects by BIPOC (Black Indigenous People of Color) creators.

In addition, VCNI’s Europe, Middle East, Africa and Asian (EMEA) division has also committed to dedicating 30 percent of its budget in 2021 produce stories focused on or related to underrepresented groups and issues.

“Audiences around the world, particularly younger generations and kids, are becoming more and more diverse in composition, outlook and perspectives, and it’s our responsibility to ensure that our content reflects the world in which our audiences live,” said Jules Borkent, Executive Vice President (EVP) of kids and family at VCNI. “Our research tells us very clearly that kids want to see themselves reflected on-screen. By launching ‘No Diversity, No Commission’ across our international brands, we are able to ensure that the shows and characters we create continue to reflect kids today and tomorrow.”

“Diversity, inclusion and equity need to be at the heart of everything we do within our brands and our business,” said Kerry Taylor, executive VP of youth and entertainment. “We are committed to doing better, to making progress in this area, and using our platforms to shine a light on the talent, voices and stories that need to be seen and heard. No diversity, no commission is an important step in our journey.”

In the wake of this summer’s fresh wave of Black Lives Matter protests, several broadcasters have stepped up and changed their approach to D&I initiatives, looking both outward as well as inward.

The international launch of this policy and the company’s upcoming initiatives follow ViacomCBS’s Global Inclusion Week, which included more than 100 virtual sessions featuring diversity, equity and inclusion experts, talent, thought leaders, creators and executives focused on promoting diversity, inclusion, equity and belonging.

From Variety:

ViacomCBS Intl. Studios Unveils its First Animated Series: ’Gloria Wants to Know It All’ (EXCLUSIVE)

ViacomCBS Intl. Studios (VIS), the fast expanding international content production arm of ViacomCBS, is driving for the first time into animation, partnering with Marc Anthony and Argentina’s Juan José Campanella, writer-director of the Academy Award winning “The Secret in Their Eyes.”

First up is a development deal on animated series “Gloria Wants to Know It All,” alongside Anthony’s Magnus Studios, Campanella’s Mundoloco Animation Studios in Buenos Aires and Miami-based Lanugo Media, co-founded by Carla Curiel and Roberto Castro and a family entertainment company committed to creating culturally relevant content promoting diversity.

Targeting pre-school children, “Gloria Wants to Know It All” turns on Gloria, an eight-year-old alpaca from the big city. Vacationing at her grandmother’s house in Pueblo Lanugo, described by VIS in a statement as “an incredible small town that is a vibrant example of the richness of Latin American culture,” Gloria discovers that there’s a huge amount to learn and, as the series title suggests, wants to know it all.

The series will feature music by U.S. singer, songwriter and actor Marc Anthony, a six-time Latin Grammy winner, who will executive produce the project as well as serve as the show’s executive musical producer. Campanella is also executive producing.

“Gloria Wants to Know It All” has been created by Curiel, Castro, producer Felipe Pimiento  (“Britney Spears Live: the Femme Fatale Tour”), who acts as an executive producer for Magnus Studios, and Mundoloco’s Gaston Gorali, the producer-co-writer of the Campanella-directed “Futbolín (“Underdogs”), the biggest animated feature to come out of Latin America.

Doreen Spicer (“Motown Magic”), María Escobedo (“Elena de Ávalor”) and Diego Labat, a writer on Mundoloco’s Discovery Kids TV series “Mini Beat Power Rockers,” are writing the series.

Animation will be produced by Mundoloco Animation Studios. The style of animation is being discussed as part of the development process, said Federico Cuervo, senior VP and head of ViacomCBS Intl. Studios.

“A new challenge for our studio, to produce an animated series, a new genre for us to explore,” Cuervo told Variety on Monday, “animation travels very well worldwide, because of its universal appeal to all kind of audiences.”

Beyond that, “In these uncertain times, it can be produced remotely, without any major concerns,” he added.

Catching the curve of a foreseeable build in animation projects – though Cuervo warns that it takes a longer time than live-action to move from concept to market – VIS’ involvement in “Gloria Wants to Know In All” comes just days after it announced a live-action series based on the life of Italian artist Artemisia Gentileschi, with “Pan’s Labyrinth” producer Frida Torresblanco and 66 Media’s Jill Offman on board to develop the project. Gentileschi was an admired but rare example of a female painter in the Italian Baroque period.

Highlighting the “splendor and diversity of our Latino culture for children everywhere,” as Anthony commented when “Gloria” was  first announced in February, “Gloria” aims “to bring pride to all those who feel different, no matter where they come from,” Campanella added.

“Know your roots to understand your destiny,” VIS said, announcing it had boarded “Gloria Wants to Know In All.”

“Diversity and inclusion is an essential part of everything we do around all our contents, not just this project,” Cuervo said Monday.

He went on: “ViacomCBS as a whole is committed to D&I with different initiatives already announced and in VIS we are taking strong steps to fulfil that commitment in front and behind the camera.”

Ramsey Naito Navigates 2020 with Raft of Projects for Nickelodeon

The recently appointed president on using her background to bolster Nickelodeon's movie slate, providing stability during turmoil, and promoting D&I goals.


When Ramsey Naito landed her Vice President (VP) of Nickelodeon Movies role in the late ’90s, she was brought in through a diversity and inclusion initiative. Now, as president of Nickelodeon Animation, Naito wants to make sure she’s giving the same opportunities to other producers and creatives.

Naito oversees the network’s animated content across all formats and platforms, including linear, digital, TV movies, theatrical motion pictures and SVOD. She manages day-to-day operations for Nickelodeon’s current series and development slate, as well as the net’s key franchises—SpongeBob SquarePants, The Casagrandes, The Loud House, Baby Shark, Blue’s Clues & You!, Santiago of the Seas and the upcoming Rugrats reboot (she started in the industry as a production assistant on the original). She’s also put a number of new series into production for Nickelodeon, including Middlemost Post, Big Nate, Star Trek: Prodigy, Tiny Chef, Real Pigeons Fight Crime and Phoebe and her Unicorn. Naito also oversees the studio’s recent movie offshoots, including a new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles theatrical film currently in the works.

It’s a far greater scope than when Naito rejoined Nickelodeon in 2018 as Executive Vice President (EVP) of animation production. In the two short years since her return, the ViacomCBS-owned channel has expanded its studio and movie business significantly, she says.


But her strategy forward is clear: “My plan is to create brand-new shows that come from new ideas, from new creators who are diverse and inclusive in front of and behind the screen,” Naito told Kidscreen's Alexandra Whyte.

Diversity and inclusion are incredibly important to Naito, both personally and professionally. To send that message through the ranks, the first thing she tackled was a leadership shuffle at Nickelodeon Animation Studios.

“We reorganized and hired leadership that would represent and mirror the audience in inclusion, so we could attract and identify with diverse creators who might want to come and sell their shows to us.” One such recent hire was Conrad Montgomery as VP of current series animation. Kelley Gardner also was promoted from director to VP of current series animation, overseeing Kamp Koral: SpongeBob’s Under Years, SpongeBob SquarePants and Star Trek: Prodigy as executive-in-charge.

Naito’s efforts are aligned with broader efforts at Nickelodeon—earlier this year, Camille Eden joined the company as VP of Nickelodeon recruiting and talent development, with the specific goal of bolstering diversity in the talent pool.

When Naito left her role as VP of Nickelodeon movies in the early 2000s, her career focused largely on films. She worked at Cartoon Network as head of movies before moving on to Blue Sky Studios and Paramount. But it’s her experience as a producer at DreamWorks—specifically on The Boss Baby—that Naito says has been the most formative.

At DreamWorks, she was responsible for a crew based in Los Angeles, Northern California and India. But over the course of the film, there were two regime changes at DreamWorks that resulted in the closure of both the Northern California and India offices.

“One of the things I learned on that film was [how to bring] stability to a project during a time of great change,” says Naito. These are learnings she’s leaning heavily on now in order to help everyone at Nickelodeon weather the COVID-19 (coronavirus) storm. And while other studios have suffered layoffs, Nick’s Animation Studio has been doing quite well, with Naito going on a 200-person hiring spree since March.

She has a few other changes up her sleeve, including a number of new shows for ViacomCBS’s Paramount+ (the upcoming rebrand of CBS All Access). “There’s no question that it will be a destination for us.” Her first foray onto the platform will be with SpongeBob spinoff Kamp Koral

“It used to be that we were only making things for linear. But now we’ve opened up our gateway and we’re making things for digital— for our own streaming platform and for other platforms like Amazon and Apple,” she says. There’s also the multi-year output deal with Netflix, which has already seen the launch of co-pros Pinky Malinky and Glitch Techs, and revival movies Rocko's Modern Life: Static Cling and Invader ZIM: Enter the Florpus. The streamer will also debut movies inspired by The Loud House and Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

And with a wide array of projects on the go, Naito is happy to be back with her roots. “I went and worked at many places, and I always missed the culture here, I missed Nick. I loved that I was hired at Nickelodeon through a diversity and inclusion initiative because that gave me an opportunity,” says Naito. “It’s been great to come back in this capacity and help bring back that culture of inclusion that was still here but needed to be amplified again.”

ViacomCBS Ensures Employees Have Their Voices Heard

ViacomCBS Ensures Employees Have Their Voices Heard

Civic Engagement

As a civic-minded company, time after time ViacomCBS has demonstrated its commitment to empowering audiences and employees to exercise their rights, represent their interests and vote.

This election is critical. From COVID-19 (coronavirus) to the ongoing fight for social justice, it’s never been a more important time for voters to have their voices heard. With the election weeks away, ViacomCBS is ensuring that employees have the flexibility and support they need to do their civic duty and get engaged in the democratic process:

Flexible-Work Schedule

  • Flexible-Work Schedule: Many will have the option to vote early this year – by mail or in person – while others will choose to vote at their local polling location on Election Day. For this upcoming election, the company is implementing a flexible-work schedule to allow the day that works best for each employee to cast a safe vote.
  • Election Day: For employees who are planning to head to the polls on Election Day, supervisors and teams will limit or proactively not schedule any meetings for Tuesday, November 3rd and begin the process of rescheduling any meetings that are currently planned for that day.
  • Poll Worker Time Off: In addition to flexible time for voting, ViacomCBS is encouraging interested and eligible employees to consider working as poll workers for the upcoming election. COVID-19 has created a shortage of poll workers and many of the company's brands have been working to Power the Polls by recruiting new poll workers to ensure polling sites stay open and operate efficiently across the country.
  • New Civic Hours Program:  ViacomCBS is proud to be launching a new Civic Hours Program running through Tuesday, November 3rd. Through this program, all full-time, benefit-eligible employees will be able to track volunteer time for charitable dollars. For every hour volunteered with a nonpartisan, 501c3 organization working on civic engagement, ViacomCBS will award a $25 credit to the employee's charitable giving account, which can then be donated to any eligible 501c3 organization within its existing ViacomCBS Gives charitable contributions system, up to 10-hours per employee.

Get Involved

ViacomCBS and its brands have also continued to come together to support and inspire audiences to vote. Here’s a snapshot of all the great work happening:

  • BET: In partnership with the National Urban League and other key civil rights organizations, BET launched its #ReclaimYourVote campaign to harness the Black collective power and increase participation in the election. As part of the campaign, it held the first-ever National Black Voter Day on September 18th to aid Black citizens against suppression tactics and ensure that their votes count.
  • CBS: The Late Show with Stephen Colbert launched Better Know A Ballot, a nonpartisan voter information campaign featuring customized messages from Colbert for all 50 states and Washington, D.C. explaining how to register, vote early by mail or vote in person. The campaign also launched www.betterknowaballot.com, which includes specific voter information for all 50 states. 
  • CBS News: CBS News, CBSN, CBS News Radio, CBSNews.com, NewsPath and our local CBS Television Stations will offer definitive coverage of the election. CBS News' "America Decides: 2020" will dedicate special coverage to voter integrity; the use of misinformation aimed at influencing the electorate; and listening to voters around the country. Combined with the CBS News Battleground Tracker, which will continue to offer the most extensive polling in the industry, CBS News’ multiplatform, division-wide coverage will help inform Americans as election day approaches. CBSNews.com/politics will offer continuous coverage of the Election including a state-by-state informational guide on how and where to vote.
  • Entertainment & Youth Group: In partnership with the Ad Council and led by ViacomCBS' Entertainment and Youth Group, ViacomCBS also just announced the launch of Vote For Your Life, a mass voter registration, early voting, and get-out-the-vote campaign crafted to respond to the specific challenges of the 2020 election season. As part of this campaign, MTV is funding the cost of ballot application printing and postage for 100,000 voters at www.VoteForYourLife.com and www.VoteEarlyDay.org.
  • Nickelodeon: Nickelodeon’s Kids Pick the President campaign will also be offering kids a voice and a choice. Since the campaign’s inception in 1988, kids have correctly picked the winner six out of the last eight cycles.

Make A Plan

Civic engagement is in ViacomCBS' DNA, and the company is proud of everything its teams are doing to encourage a strong turnout and ensure a safe and fair election for all voters.

Игровое шоу «Всеология», произведенное Nickelodeon Россия, отмечено национальной премией «ТЭФИ-Kids» в номинации «Режиссер телевизионной программы для детей». Награду получил режиссер, актер и педагог Антон Михалев.

«„Всеология“ – это свободный и творческий проект, который канал Nickelodeon производит в России.

Я очень рад, что мне посчастливилось стать частью этого замечательного шоу и надеюсь, что оно будет существовать как можно дольше», – сказал Антон Михалев.

«Всеология» — популярное семейное развлекательное шоу собственного производства, которое Nickelodeon Россия представил в 2019 году. В нем принимали участие как зрители телеканала, так и знаменитости: им предстояло пройти увлекательные испытания на любознательность, эрудированность и ловкость. Так, в самых непредсказуемых конкурсах гостям предлагали построить башню из пены на голове у одного из членов команды и сообща собрать слова из букв, найденных в тарелках с йогуртом. Режиссером «Всеологии» стал Антон Михалев, член гильдии кинорежиссеров России и один из создателей «Ералаша», а ведущим выступил актер и сценарист Анвар Халилулаев.
