Snapchatters will get to enjoy snackable content and snackable clips of select content across genres and a variety of youth fiction and non-fiction shows – from Parodize Station and Bad Breakups from multi-format content destination Fully Faltoo, to pop-culture and genre-defining defining MTV offerings such as Splitsvilla, Hustle 2.0, new seasons of action-adventure reality show Roadies and more.
