Anthony Padilla‘s Pressalike Productions has signed actor, writer, and burgeoning content creator Caroline Klidonas for a six-figure YouTube development deal.
Per The Wrap, Pressalike’s investment is intended to help Klidonas become a full-time creator, providing her with both working capital to make YouTube videos and with content strategy development from the Pressalike team.
Klidonas, who’s worked in Hollywood both on and off camera, has been posting to TikTok since 2020, and has amassed nearly 400,000 followers with short satirical skits that dig into popular movie genres like romance and sci-fi.

Pressalike Productions, the production company founded by YouTube veteran and Smosh co-creator Anthony Padilla, announced Monday that it will sign actor and social media creator Caroline Klidonas to a YouTube development deal.
The deal will see Pressalike investing a nearly six-figure sum into Klidonas’ content creation and strategy development that will see the popular YouTuber, best known for creating sci-fi parody “The Rune Series,” into a full-time social media creator.
“I’m blown away by the sheer creativity and passion that Caroline puts into bringing her ideas to life.

When Netflix announced last year that it would revive “Queer Eye,” the hit reality makeover show from a decade ago, the internet responded with a resounding “why?”
“The rights came back,” David Collins, co-creator and executive producer of “Queer Eye” said Tuesday night. The show, he explained, was “available for us to take out again.”
Collins appeared at a panel discussion hosted by Hrts, where he was joined by other unscripted producers and executives — as well as moderator Scott Hervey — to discuss the phenomena of rebooting successful reality franchises.
“The show has always been evergreen,” Collins said. “The format was beloved. It had international appeal. The run that we had originally on Bravo had been wonderful, but the time came when it ended, and there was just enough time to kind of settle it. And quite frankly, the Republican world came to be, and it was time for a new...
