LA-based Electric Entertainment has entered into an agreement to bring YouTube viral hit Sideswiped exclusively to VIZIO’s free streaming service, WatchFree+.
Each half-hour episode stars Carly Craig (American Housewife), Rosanna Arquette (Desperately Seeking Susan), and Chelsea Frei (The Moodys). Generating 6 million subscribers after premiering on YouTube, the series is a comedy about one woman’s chaotic journey through modern dating after matching with 252 men on a dating app.
Dean Devlin, CEO of Electric Entertainment, said, “From the moment I watched Sideswiped, I knew it was something special. The series is witty, relatable, and laugh-out-loud funny, driven by exceptional writing and a pitch-perfect ensemble cast. Bringing it to the WatchFree+ audience allows us to introduce this hidden gem to countless new viewers, expand its devoted fanbase, and shine a well-deserved spotlight on one of streaming’s smartest comedies.”
After waking up on her 35th birthday with 252 Tinder matches, career-driven Olivia embarks on a hilarious and often cringe-worthy mission to date every one of them. Alongside her recently widowed mother and her younger married sister, who is questioning her own relationship, Sideswiped explores the chaos, humour, and emotional realities of finding connection in the digital age.
Electric Entertainment is an independent studio known for franchises Leverage and Librarians, as well as the TV series The Ark, Almost Paradise, and The Outpost. IT also runs its own premium streaming app and FAST channel, ElectricNOW, which features Electric’s original content and over a thousand hours of third-party content.
