FACEBOOK Watch has greenlit talk show “Face to Face With Becky G” starring the global singer, actor and activist. On the weekly show, slated to premiere sometime next month on Facebook Watch, Becky G will invite her favorite artists, celebrities and friends for “unfiltered” conversations that cover issues relevant to her generation, the Latino community and beyond, according to Facebook. “Staying connected to mi gente and our cultures is incredibly important to me,” Becky G said in a statement. “My new talk show on Facebook Watch will take this engagement to a whole new level — where we’ll discuss the issues that really matter to us and our communities, have great guests and of course, and invite everyone to the conversation.” “Face to Face With Becky G” is the latest in the social giant’s commitment to original talk shows aimed at driving community and conversation as well as promoting diverse voices on the platform, according to Mina Lefevre, head of development and programming for Facebook Watch, the company’s hub for episodic content. Becky G has released two No. 1 hits on the Billboard Latin Airplay Charts, “Mayores” and “Sin Pijama.” The 24-year-old’s acting credits include a starring role in Lionsgate’s “Power Rangers” and guest-starring in Fox’s “Empire.” (SD-Agencies) |
