As one of NBCU‘s most ambitious digital initiatives, the company is launching a series of original video projects across its digital platforms and national VOD channels. Universal Cable Productions will offer more than a dozen digital video programs including new series "Tesla and Twain" and "Last Single Girl." It’s also developing additional original series.

The move came after Disney‘s play in the space through its acquisition of YouTube multichannel network Maker Studios.
