WE tv will be utilizing transmedia to engage viewers around its new series, Pregnant & Dating, a new provocative series spotlighting five single women who are pregnant and still on the hunt for a partner who isn’t scared off by the idea of an “instant family,” premiering Friday, May 31 at 10 pm, ET/PT. The linear show will introduce viewers to Kiesha, a successful R&B producer from LA; model and three-time Miss Hawaiian Tropic winner, Shana, a NC native; Melissa, an LA-based celebrity stylist who’s worked with ultra-glamorous clients like Shakira and Britney Spears; nail technician, Megan, of Orange County, CA,; and Los Angeles television producer, Rachel who is pregnant with twins by her ex-boyfriend.
This is WE tv’s second foray with the cross-platform tactic, most recently used during the current third season of Braxton Family Values, the network’s highest rated and most watched series. ?The on-air to online viewer experience for Pregnant & Dating will allow viewers to see more of Rachel’s journey of being single, pregnant, and continuing to date.

The story began on WE tv, closing with a cliffhanger to drive viewers to WEtv.com to see more of the story, and then back again.
