Sony Pictures Entertainment’s Web video site Crackle.com will launch a pair of original series later this year along with a slew of theatrical movies as the property continues its evolution toward becoming a destination for premium, young-male-targeted content.

Due this summer is the action-comedy series “Dusty Peacock,” which features an inept stuntman looking to perform one memorable stunt. That show was created by “King of Queens” star Kevin James and stars his brother Gary Valentine. Also in the works is the action-drama “The Bannen Way,” which depicts a con man trying to change his ways.
