Last year, the company struck a multi-year deal with NBCUniversal to develop and sell advertising packages, incorporating Snapchat’s expanded set of advertising products into its sponsorship, mobile and video offerings. The first short-form series to launch on the platform was The Voice on Snapchat. More recently, the platform introduced its first Saturday Night LiveStory.

Snap Inc. and Disney ABC Television Group also partnered up to create original episodic shows for Snapchat Discover. Their programming deal kicked off with Watch Party: The Bachelor,a complement to ABC's popular franchise. Several additional shows from ABC Television Group will roll out on Snapchat in the coming months, as the platform continues to grow its original, scripted and unscripted shows on its Discover platform.
