SEATTLE, May 17, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Lockerz, a social commerce company with nearly 19 million members worldwide, today announced the debut of its third original content series. "Marcy" is a mockumentary-style comedy centered around the character of Marcy Delgado (played by Cierra Solis), who aspires to be America's next great stunt...person. The series documents Marcy's painfully awkward encounters with real Hollywood celebrities playing themselves, including Brittany Snow ("Harry's Law"), David Krumholtz ("Numb3rs"), Jay Baruchel ("How to Train Your Dragon"), Jayma Mays ("Glee"), Jessica Stroup ("90210") and Martin Starr ("Freaks and Geeks"). Developing top-tier, Web-only content is a current trend in entertainment, with companies such as Hulu and Netflix also introducing their own digital series.

"Marcy" consists of eight episodes, four to six minutes each. The "Marcy" character is reminiscent of a Borat, or even Michael Scott of "The Office," with her unbridled confidence combined with complete lack of self-awareness. There are countless cringe-worthy moments within a variety of quintessentially L.A. experiences, which are seen through the lens of Marcy and her guest stars. The first episode is available in Lockerz PLAY starting today, and subsequent episodes will premiere every Tuesday and Thursday at 9 a.m. eastern time.

"Lockerz' original content series are among the most popular activities on the site and have generated more than 11 million views," said Kathy Savitt, founder and chief executive officer of Lockerz. "Our members are going to have a blast earning PTZ while watching Marcy's antics with a cast that's the Who's Who of young Hollywood."
