The media company that bills itself as a channel for “Heartland millennials” has five new shows on its horizon. Complex Networks’ Rated Red has unveiled its Q3 2017 lineup, which includes a quintet of programs that will all be distributed through Verizon’s Go90 platform.
Rated Red has worked social media stars into much of the content it has released so far, and more digital standouts appear within the channel’s upcoming slate. Brodie Smith, known for the frisbee trickshot videos he posts on YouTube, will star in For The Win, which was first announced last year. Dancer Amymarie Gaertner, a dancer who has more than 1.4 million Instagram followers, will get a chance to appear alongside actor Calum Worthy in a coming-of-age thriller called Boonies. YouTube star and actress Lauren Elizabeth is also set to appear in that project.

A new content initiative will link Astronauts Wanted to a recently-formed network. The digital media company is behind WeGotIssues and For The Win, a pair of new unscripted shows that will both feature YouTube stars as their respective leads and will both be distributed on Verizon’s Go90 app thanks to a partnership with Verizon-owned Complex Networks.
WeGotIssues will star Kingsley, the veteran YouTuber known for his gossipy videos. Together with his “squad,” which will include comedians like Shanna Malcom, Grant Cotter and Steph Simbari, he will comment on and mock recent pop culture events.
In For The Win, Brodie Smith -- who is known for his frisbee trick shots on YouTube -- will travel the country to check out unusual activities like Underwater Hockey and Extreme Unicycling. He’ll then challenge the pros to their own games, so think of the show like a weird, sporting version of Throwdown with Bobby Flay.
