Philo signs first-ever original series deal with Kin

Philo recently sealed an agreement with Kin to stream the upcoming “Boss Moves,” with hip-hop star Rasheeda Frost. The deal serves as the online TV service's first original programming deal. “Kin’s programming, which specifically focuses on entrepreneurship and female empowerment, is a great fit for Philo’s community,” Mike Keyserling, COO, Philo, said in a statement. “We are certain that Philo subscribers will enjoy the extensive catalog of Kin shows, as well as Boss Moves, our upcoming new original series with Rasheeda.”

The series, set to premier in April, will begin shooting later this month and will include 12 30-minute episodes. The series will also be available across YouTube, Facebook and Instagram. In addition, Philo will stream more than 65 hours of Kin’s women’s lifestyle content, including “Hello Hunnay” with Jeannie Mai Jenkins, “Really, Truly, Maybe” with Christina Milian, and “Heart of the Batter” with Jordin Sparks. 

In the series, the Atlanta native will welcome audiences into her homes and businesses and behind the scenes of her many financial decisions, including a branded Frost Bistro & Bar or international real estate ventures. The library of Kin’s programs will be available as part of Philo’s base package for all subscribers.

“Kin creates programming that resonates with women of all backgrounds, wherever they are watching,” said Tejal Ajmera, COO of Kin, in a statement. “We are excited to debut ‘Boss Moves’ with Philo and are confident it will attract audiences looking for strong, talented and diverse talent.”
