Nia Long Stars in 3-Part Online Series for Target — ‘Falling for You’ – Video

Posted byBy Stan | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

While we wait in anticipation to see what big screen film Nia Long will next star in, especially since giving birth to her child almost a year ago, here’s something to keep you tied up, maybe.

Target is releasing a three-episode online rom-com series titled Falling for You, which Nia Long co-stars in along with Kristen Bell and Zachary Abel, directed by Phil Abraham (an episodic TV director, who’s helmed episodes of Mad Men and The Sopranos).

Needless to say, it’s really just a way for Target to get its products to consumers – specifically, while you’re watching to series, the items you see in each scene will be shoppable throughout the film, as it plays.

A right-hand column within the player tells you what items in any given scene are available to buy at Target, and with a few clicks, you can buy the.

The series has already released the first 2 episodes – on October 2 and 4; the next will be available on the October 9. And the grand finale will be livestreamed on October 10 on FallingForYou.Target.com.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
