Fandango is launching original programming for the first time by commissioning a “Bad Girls Club” reunion. Deadline and Variety both report that the project brings back cast members from the Oxygen reality series in a new, reunion-focused format, marking Fandango’s entry into producing content rather than only distributing it.
Both outlets link the move to Fandango’s shift toward streaming and its ownership structure. Variety notes that Fandango is an AVOD (ad-supported video on demand) service and that it is backed by Versant Media, following organizational changes related to NBCUniversal’s split of many cable and digital assets earlier in the year. Deadline frames the step as a natural evolution for Versant-owned Fandango, which has become a free, ad-supported streamer.
While details are limited across the sources provided, Variety specifies that Fandango has ordered two episodes, described as “Bad Girls Club: Unfinished Business.” Deadline describes it more broadly as a reunion featuring the show’s stars. Both accounts agree on the core points: the “Bad Girls Club” revival, Fandango’s AVOD platform, and the significance of this being Fandango’s first originals push.
