LOS ANGELES — Chera TV, a female-founded streaming platform built for mobile-first audiences, has announced plans to launch in 2026 with a slate of original vertical series designed to merge cinematic quality with ethical production practices.
Created to address long-standing issues in short-form entertainment — low pay, unsafe sets and rapid-fire content mills — the platform positions itself as an industry outlier by prioritizing creator rights, fair compensation and inclusive workplace standards.
“We're not just building another streaming app. We're creating a new creative ecosystem where every voice matters, every story has a home, and every creator is protected and respected,” said Kylie Karson, co-founder and vice president of production and development. “Chera TV exists because the current system isn't working for the people who actually make the content.”
The company's first original series begins filming in December 2025, with additional titles rolling out ahead of the 2026 debut, featuring diverse and underrepresented creators. Its programming leans into high-end production design and narrative depth, with the tagline “The shows you've been scrolling for.”
“Chera TV is redefining how we see and celebrate creatives, both in front of and behind the camera,” said chief operating officer Calvin Singh. Interested viewers and creators can join the waitlist at cheratv.com.
