On the series side, MBC cast Netflix’s Sneakerheads (Allen Maldonado, Andrew Bachelor), the Emmy nominated Relationship Status (Milo Ventimiglia, Sean Ashmore, Willa Fitzgerald) and have upcoming series with Hulu and MGM.
Meg and Sunny have recently added narrative podcasts to their resume with several series including Blackout (Rami Malek), Echo Park (Harry Shum Jr), Last Known Position (Gina Rodriguez) and the soon to be released The Mantawauk Caves (Jonathan Tucker)
