After drawing Caribbean audiences during its regional run, Carnival Catwalk has debuted internationally on NBC’s Peacock streaming platform.
The fashion reality series, produced in Trinidad and Tobago, premiered on August 1 and is the first locally created show to be acquired by a major US streaming service.
Executive producers Jerome “Rome” Precilla, Gian Franco (Pavilion Entertainment), and Rodney Seemungal (SGP Studios) led the project, which was filmed with a mostly local crew. “This series was built using a cast and crew of over 180 creatives that was 98% local,” said Precilla. “This is our story being told by us.”
Ten designers from around the world compete for US$100,000 and a feature at Milan Fashion Week. The judging panel includes Miss Universe 1998 Wendy Fitzwilliam and Project Runway winner Anya Ayoung-Chee. Precilla co-hosts the series alongside Jamaican media personality Kandi King.
The nine-episode series also showcases over 150 soca tracks and is currently ranked #3 on Peacock’s “Peacock Picks”.
