A year after launching its live Twitter news show Am To Dm, BuzzFeed is working on another series for the social media platform.
Called #What2Watch, BuzzFeed’s latest collaboration with Twitter will focus on reviewing television shows. Scott Bryan, a TV editor at BuzzFeed UK, will host the series with the company’s social media editor, Dionne Grant. The show was announced today during the Edinburgh Television Festival.
#What2Watch came out of Bryan’s Twitter observation earlier this year that television review shows are far less prevalent than series that discuss movies, according to Variety. The show will attempt to fill that space with a weekly, 40-minute spot that will stream live on Twitter. During each episode, the hosts will discuss the highs and lows of TV content that week, as well as interview the shows’ stars.

Twitter and BuzzFeed are joining forces to produce “#What2Watch,” a new Twitter-based show made in Britain and dedicated to reviewing the latest content on television. The joint project, unveiled at the Edinburgh Television Festival on Thursday, will be a live, weekly 40-minute show and is set to launch later this year.
“Our audiences are really passionate people who love TV,” said Dara Nasr, managing director of Twitter in the U.K. “And they’re not just loving watching it; they’re talking about it, engaging with other people who are talking about it…and having that moment of community….It’s the perfect show for us.”
“#What2Watch” follows another Twitter-BuzzFeed collaboration, the live-on-Twitter morning talk show “Am to Dm by BuzzFeed News.” The new show was born of a gripe that Scott Bryan, a television editor at BuzzFeed U.K., posted on Twitter earlier this year, noting that...
