Blu King
Antoine Henderson. The man behind The Next Up and Coming Network.
Blu King — born Antoine Henderson — is the founder and CEO of The Next Up and Coming Network. He built TNUAC to do one thing: put the next generation of talent on screen before anybody else does.
Out of Philadelphia, the network runs a growing slate of originals — reality, drama, podcasts and music videos — led by flagship shows like The Next Up and Coming and made with Executive Producer Tyshawna Michelle. New episodes keep coming, and every new show lands on the main page the moment it's added.
Blu also goes live on TikTok, where viewers can catch him and TNUAC creators in real time. Want to be part of the next season? Casting is always free — one unedited video and three standing photos are all it takes to apply.
