The program received thousands of submissions, and after weeks of reviewing, Clubhouse has now announced the shows that will participate in the Pilot Season, a throwback idea from the entertainment industry with a modern Clubhouse spin. The goal of this first season will be to go from the thousands of submissions to dozens of pilot episodes, to a handful of ongoing series. The selected finalists will share their pilot episodes with everyone on Clubhouse.
With Creators from around the world, including in the US, Indonesia, UK, Argentina, Canada, Colombia, and Japan, pilot episodes will cover topics as wide-ranging as you would expect from the Clubhouse community. Whatever your interests – from sports and space, to psychics and psychedelics, to history and healthcare – there’s something for everyone.
