In
a
late
Friday
email,
X
CEO
Linda
Yaccarino
announced
the
launch
of
a
new
“video
tab”
feature
(resembling
a
TikTok-style
endless
scroll,
according
to
a
source
at
X)
and
an
X-exclusive
reality
series,
called
The
Offseason,
starring
soccer
star
Midge
Purce,
and
produced
by
investor
Alexis
Ohanian.
This
announcement
comes
shortly
after
a
gathering
of
X
partners
and
clients
at
the
New
York
office
on
Tuesday,
while
Yaccarino
works
to
retain
advertisers
and
content
creators
—
both
vital
to
the
platform
but
steadily
fleeing
due
to
the
behavior
of
its
owner,
Elon
Musk.
Yaccarino
added
that
Purce
and
Ohanian
came
to
the
office
to
share
more
about
the
upcoming
premiere
of
The
Offseason
—
which
is
set
to
go
live
October
18.
X
has
been
securing
content
deals
with
creators
like
MrBeast
and
celebrities
like
Don
Lemon,
aiming
to
strengthen
its
pivot
to
video
and
challenge
YouTube
as
a
video-hosting
platform.
The
Offseason
is
produced
in
partnership
with
reality
TV
producer
Alex
Baskin
(who
produced
“Vanderpump
Rules”),
and
Box
to
Box
Films
(“Drive
to
Survive”),
alongside
Ohanian,
according
to
Variety.
The
show
focuses
on
11
national
women’s
league
soccer
players
during
their
off-season,
living
together
for
two
weeks
in
Miami,
offering
“uncensored
access
to
their
personal
stories,
interpersonal
relationships
and
on-field
journey.”
The
email
from
Yaccarino
also
claimed
that
exclusive
new
content
and
advancements
in
safety
would
be
coming
soon
to
the
platform,
along
with
an
X
TV
App
(which
I
previously
reported
was
in
the
works).
