Viacom is ramping up its slate of digital originals with three new series from Comedy Central International.
The digital studio is launching female focused series Bad Cramps and Laughing at Salad and scripted series Waiting.
Bad Cramps comes from the mind of Georgie Fuller and Danni Jackson, stars of Comedy Central’s digital short Bad Snappers.

Laughing at Salad, which will launch in January, is a nine-part sketch series that features an all-female line up, including Maddie Rice, Beth Rylance, Bronwyn James, Danielle Vitalis and Elinor Lawless. Each sketch is written by different female writers, including Harriet Kemsley, Sarah Morgan, Gemma Arrowsmith, Kat Butterfield...

Comedy Central International greenlit two new short-form digital series inspired by its irreverent comedy, Bad Snappers, which finds humor in our Snapchat-curated lives.
One new digital spinoff series, Unfiltered, gives a guy’s perspective on our manufactured social media selves — whether its lying on a dating profile, stealing a friend’s dog for an Instagram photo shoot. It stars the comedy duo Aaron Robertson and Gavin Dunn, and is produced by Factory Films.
“It’s from that kernel of the idea of real life versus how we present ourselves on social media,” said Claire McArdle, Comedy Central International’s vice president of multiplatform. “With the core element being the friendship.”
Comedy Central also launched a localized version of Bad Snappers for the Middle East, featuring comedians Rima Iskandarani and Frial Abdelrazek. It debuts April 9 with five 60-second sketches that deal with social media use and misuse.
