God the US makes some terrible promos/
ZERO appeal there.
They have made it look like every. single. catty. reality show. on TV.
which in the US is about 765 series.
Nothing about that looks appealing original or quirky.
They really should have watched Seven’s promos and sold it like that - personality based.
This will bomb - nothing looks big or special at all.
Is this just an online promo or is it likely to appear on telly too?
The :30 spot is on-air.
The US doesn’t devote airtime to extended “sneak peaks” so the longer trailer would be online only
They should be thankful for that, I guess.
So it fits in well with the MKR format then?
