Spielberg and Goldwyn, daughters of Steven Spielberg and John Goldwyn, also wrote the series, which is basically about their own lives: They play friends and writing partners who go through breakups, juice cleanses, and other Los Angeles-esque trials of young adulthood.

Literally Can’t Even will be hosted on Snap Channel, part of Snapchat’s new ad-supported Discover service, which launched last week. The episodes will only be a few minutes long, and, in keeping with Snapchat’s blink-or-you’ll-miss-it style, each episode will disappear 24 hours after it airs. The AT&T-created superhero series for Snapchat was given the same one-day time frame.
By creating content in-house, Snapchat is making moves to compete with companies like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon. Literally Can’t Even might not be the next Transparent, but it’s a step.
Literally Can’t Even premieres January 31st. Then, on February 1st, it will disappear.
