Blavity’s Shadow and Act has the exclusive trailer for the upcoming Tubi comedy series, Mo’ Waffles.
The series is a product of the streamer’s Stubios initiative, which brings fan-fueled projects to the free-streaming platform. The half-hour scripted comedy is set in Atlanta’s restaurant scene.
The series was inspired by the viral skits from Popular TikTok creator, Robin Jordan, who is the “Stubiorunner” for the project. She stars in it as well, alongside Grant Gibbs and Ashley Gill (TikTok duo A Twink and a Red Head), Tina Fears, Darius Autry, Alison Haselden, Antwan Mills, Caisey Cole, George Howard Adams, and Rashal James.
“My experience on set was amazing because I was surrounded by very talented people that I was able to learn so much from,” Jordan told Blavity’s Shadow and Act in a statement.
