As their first first viral video attests, Wesley Chan and Philip Wang have made it their life’s mission as filmmakers to prove one thing: Asian men are sexy. With Harry Shum Jr. (“Glee”) as the leading man in their new mini-series, “Single By 30,” the point is moot. In the series, Shum plays Peter, a nice guy living in Los Angeles working for the family business. With his thirtieth birthday approaching, and his parents thirsting for grandkids, Peter decides he needs to step up his dating game. When his party-loving friend Mark (Eric Ochoa) makes a Facebook event for what was supposed to be a quiet celebration, Peter’s high school crush shows up.

TV’s first leading gay superhero is coming next year to CW Seed.
The CW’s digital streaming service has announced plans to launch “Freedom Fighters: The Ray,” featuring the first gay superhero to headline a show in an animated series, next year. Based on characters from the DC universe, the show will be produced by Warner Bros.’ digital studio Blue Ribbon Content.
“Freedom Fighters: The Ray” comes to the CW from Berlanti Productions, with executive producers Greg Berlanti (“Arrow,” “The Flash,” “Supergirl”) and Marc Guggenheim (“Arrow,” “DC’s Legends of Tomorrow”) at the helm.
That means “The Ray” will fall into DC’s The CW-centered Berlantiverse. (Berlanti is executive producer on “Arrow,” “The Flash,” “Legends of Tomorrow” and “Supergirl,” all in the DC Universe.)

IndieWire’s Springboard column profiles up-and-comers in the film industry worthy of your attention.
The URL for Yulin Kuang’s YouTube channel is “yulinisworking,” a very fitting handle for this plucky young filmmaker, who hit the ground running out of college and shows no signs of slowing down.
Her series, “I Ship It,” based on her short film of the same name, premiered on the CW Seed this summer. New Form Digital produced the musical web series and helped Kuang shop it to the CW’s digital streaming service. With its musical aspect, “I Ship It” follows in the vein of shows like “Glee” and “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.” Though the series bears some evidence of network tampering (it lacks some of the quirky originality that makes Kuang’s work stand out), the series stays true to Kuang’s values with a diverse cast and a nerdy girl protagonist.
