For the moment, the streaming platform has not yet revealed a launch date or an official title for this future show. Only the caption accompanying the publication on Twitter, which teases "Kouvr Annon, Nikita Dragun, Sienna Mae Gomez, Chase Hudson, Larri Merritt, Thomas Petrou, Alex Warren, and Jack Wright – aka Hype House – will star in a new unscripted series that will reveal a side of themselves (and their relationships) that we rarely see!"

The Hype House collective brings together some of the most popular influencers on TikTok. Transgender TikTok star Nikita Dragun has 13.5 million followers on her platform. As does Kouvr Annon, while Sienna Mae Gomez counts 15.1 million followers. Charli D'Amelio's ex-boyfriend, Chase Hudson aka lilhuddy can boast of being the most popular among this bunch with 30.5 million fans on his TikTok account.

As for Larri MerrittThomas PetrouAlex Warren, and Jack Wright,  these influencers have 23.3 million, 8.1 million, 14.2 million, and 8.2 million followers respectively. Among the eight of them, these influencers have accumulated nearly 126.4 million followers. A colossal number that is clearly appealing to Netflix, which is determined to take advantage of this craze by attracting mainly young audiences.

Founded in December 2019, the Hype House collective initially counted some of the biggest stars on the Chinese-owned app such as Addison Rae, Charli, and Dixie D'Amelio. – ETX Studio, April 27, 2021
