Corey Fogelmanis Cast as Lead in Fullscreen Thriller, 'PRANKME'

Corey Fogelmanis ("Girl Meets World") has been cast in the lead role of Fullscreen's thriller "PrankMe." The scripted series, currently in production in London, created by Jesse Cleverly and Paul Neafcy ("Jack & Dean of All Trades"), follows young social media success story "Jasper Perkins" on his downward spiral; transforming from online prankster to crowd-sourced killer.

The series will be available exclusively on Fullscreen, available anytime via iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, Android phones and tablets, Chromecast, via Amazon Channels and online at Fullscreen.com.

Fogelmanis will play "Jasper Perkins," a rising social media star, growing in popularity due to the increasingly extreme pranks on his channel. When a high profile stunt doesn't go according to plan, Perkins, encouraged by his growing viewership and crowdsourced victims, blurs the line between audience and accomplice.

"PrankMe" is created by Jesse Cleverly & Paul Neafcy for Fullscreen. The eight-episode series is directed by Hazel Hayes, is executive produced by Miles Bullough and Brian Kavanaugh-Jones and written by Cleverly of Wildseed Studios.
