The hit Vidio Original series “Turn On,” based on the hit Wattpad story of the same name, has reached a record 10 million viewers and growing in Q1 2021. With fans clamoring for more, Vidio, Screenplay Films, and Wattpad today also announced that “Turn On” has been greenlit for a second season.

Wattpad, the global multi-platform entertainment company for original stories, and CBC, Canada’s national public broadcaster, are developing two original series, Near or Far and The Last Place to Hide for the CBC Gem streaming service.

The project brings together two of the entertainment industry’s most successful innovators in fan engagement and data-backed entertainment. Code 8 and Upload star Robbie Amell will produce and star in the project.

I wish I had written a blog post like the one you’re about to read when Ivan and I first started Wattpad 10 years ago. Although we shared our plan numerous times in bits and pieces, it was scattered across the internet, and very few people outside of the company had the complete picture.
