TikTok star Josh Richards and Mark Wahlberg launch Gen Z production company YouTube: Josh Richards \/ GQSway House member and social media star Josh Richards has partnered up with actor and producer Mark Wahlberg to kick off his very own Gen Z-centric media production company. Josh Richards is no newbie when it comes to content creation and amassing a large audience; the social media star has garnered over 2.4 million subscribers on YouTube alone, scoring another 24 million followers on his primary platform, TikTok. However, it seems that the personality behind the smartphone screen is transitioning to broader horizons after partnering with none other than actor Mark Wahlberg\u2019s Unrealistic Ideas production company. Together, these two giants are forming another media production company with a focus on Gen Z viewers. Dubbed CrossCheck studios, this company aims to \u201ccater to Gen Z content creators across all sectors of entertainment\u201d and is \u201cfocused on becoming the premier venue for internet-native creatives.\u201d View this post on Instagram Whether or not Richards\u2019 production company will launch full-fledged movies and tv shows remains to be seen, but it has already \u201cput together a full slate of material\u201d and is even \u201cactively scouting new projects.\u201d Read More: Which TikTokers have launched music careers? – \u201cThis is a real passion project for me that I\u2019m going to pour my heart and soul into,\u201d Richards said of his new venture. \u201cWe\u2019re going to have a lot of fun along the way and build something great together. I would like to thank Mark, Lev and Archie for believing in a 19-year-old from a small town in Ontario. Now, let\u2019s get to work.\u201d \u201cI am impressed with Josh and all of the things he\u2019s already accomplished,\u201d Wahlberg commented. \u201cWe are looking forward to being in business with him and joining forces with CrossCheck Studios.\u201d Today\u2019s announcement is nothing short of surreal for me. Take this away from it: 1) If you don\u2019t dream, you can\u2019t achieve! There\u2019s still a long way to go, but if I can get this far, so can you. 2) We are open for business and want to become the #1 production company for GenZ \u2014 Josh (@JoshRichards) February 23, 2021 With the likes of Charli D\u2019Amelio and her family scoring their very own reality show on Hulu and rumors of Addison Rae potentially creating a song with Nicki Minaj, Richards\u2019 newest partnership marks yet another huge milestone for internet-based content creators moving into the mainstream limelight. Exactly what kind of content Richards\u2019 company will put out remains to be seen, but it\u2019s certainly exciting to imagine young innovators taking the reigns for a new generation of media.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
