Banana Republic Debuts First Scripted Microseries, an Office Comedy Starring Jack Innanen (Exclusive)
Banana Republic has launched its first scripted microseries, an office comedy called *The Agency*, as fashion brands increasingly use short-form entertainment to tell stories and promote products. The move draws on the retailer’s history of pairing travel stories with clothing, while giving it a way to reach new audiences on TikTok and other social platforms.
The five-episode series stars Jack Innanen as four eccentric employees at a traditional New York travel agency facing modernisation, alongside Taylor Ortega as the corporate newcomer and Milo Tucker-Meyer as an intern. Its characters wear Banana Republic clothing, and episodes with behind-the-scenes material will be released weekly. The brand says it will assess audience engagement before deciding whether to invest further; parent company Gap has also been building an entertainment operation as part of a broader “fashiontainment” strategy.
