NEW YORK — MTV is releasing a full season of a new series about a luckless high school football team on its mobile application Friday, a week before the first episode is shown on television.
It appears to be a new milestone in the fast-moving world of technology changing traditional television content, much like when Netflix made an entire season of “House of Cards” available at once through the streaming service.
The series, “Wait ‘Til Next Year,” is a 12-episode docudrama about a high school football team that had lost 43 games in a row and the community surrounding it.
“It will be fun to see if we can get them to come back and watch on television,” said Kristin Frank, executive vice president of connected content.
