Shane posted a screenshot of the Variety magazine article on his Instagram carousel, thanking him for his upcoming projects.
Shane captioned the post: “A dream come true with my dream team…thank you.”
The second snap of the wrap-up was a group photo taken outside on a sunny day with members of his “dream team,” including Hux writer and High Potential consulting producer Genevieve Aniello.
Alec Berg, known for his work on Barry and Silicon Valley, smiles in the video and serves as an executive producer. Paul Briganti will direct and executive produce the untitled pilot, the newspaper reported.
Amy Solomon, her producing partner on the series, also appeared in the group shot.
Solomon shared the photo to his Instagram Stories and wrote, “tfw (that feeling when) all the cuties unite for a massive slay/collaboration.”
Shane’s best friend Sofia Richie Grainge also paid tribute to the internet star by sharing the news on her Instagram Story, adding: “So proud of you.”
Aniello posted a photo on Instagram of her and Shane enjoying a celebratory meal and martinis.
Her carousel ended with a screenshot of the “(Untitled) Jake Shane Project” pitch dating back to June.
The intro begins with a character who appears to be Shane saying, “I’ll tell you in a moment why I’m sitting here. Ever since I was a little girl in Washington Heights, New York, I wanted to be famous.”
And Shane definitely left his mark.

Last month, the influencer spoke exclusively to PEOPLE about the “roses and thorns and buds” (the best and worst moments) of turning 26 and turning 25.
“Luckily for me, I made my first movie with Louis Pullman and Maya Hawke,” he told PEOPLE in October about his new film Wishful Thinking, directed by Graham Park. “First of all, I was so honored that they wanted me to do it. And the experience exceeded every expectation I had. I was so grateful to be there. It was really, really, really special.”
