Snapchat is, as usual, up to something.

They’re constantly innovating over there, releasing cool new things like interactive filters built on facial recognition software and glasses designed to work with their app. On the other hand, their ideas are always being ripped off and, well, improved upon by the likes of Instagram and parent company Facebook.

Today, there is a new announcement from the people at Snap, and it’s that they’ve joined forces with the people at Vice. According to VarietyVice will be producing shows exclusively for Snapchat. That’s similar to (but also an advancement on) what, say, NBC does when they give exclusive content from preexisting shows to Snap. The first of these shows will be called “Hungry Hearts with Action Bronson.” It’s a dating show hosted by Bronson, who is not only a rapper, but the host of Viceland’s Fuck, That’s Delicious.

Vice was one of the early partners when Snapchat launched their “discover” feature. That’s the feature that allows you to get news and entertainment content, plus see what other users are snapping around the world.

The new Vice content will find a home near Peter Hamby‘s exclusive-to-Snap political showGood Luck, America, which has now entered its second season.
