What’s up guys, it’s Sussan Mourad with Clevver News, and if you’ve ever been curious
to know what being in the Hype House is really like, today is your lucky day, because the
infamous influencer squad just got the greenlight for their first-ever docuseries!
Between love triangles, cheating scandals, and the behind-the-scenes magic of what goes
into creating all your favorite TikTok dances, get ready to watch it all unfold right before
your eyes.
Deadline was the first to report on Tuesday that TikTok’s Hype House will be taking
their wild antics from your phone to your television screen.
The outlet reported that Wheelhouse Entertainment has settled on a deal with the Hype House,
whose members have over 150 million followers combined, to develop and produce a new docuseries
called The Hype Life.
The show will include founding members Thomas Petrou, Chase Hudson AKA Lil Huddy, Avani
Gregg and YouTuber Nikita Dragun.
Other members of the group are set to appear on the show, including Kouvr Annon, Nick Austin,
Mia Hayward, Angel Herrera, Ondreaz Lopez, Tony Lopez, Madi Monroe, Ryland Storms, Alex
Warren, Jack Wright, James Wright and Nate Wyatt.
Deadline also reported that the upcoming docuseries is part of a “larger, overall content and
brand alliance between Wheelhouse and Hype House,” so it looks like even more content
will be dropping aside from the show itself.
So what exactly can we expect from the series?
You probably all remember the scandal that went down when Charli D’Amelio exposed Chase
for cheating, and then Chase exposed, like, half of TikTok for allegedly cheating, right?
Well consider this new show your up-close-and-personal look at what really went down between them,
as it takes fans inside the group’s shared LA mansion for an “exclusive fly-on-the-wall
look into the glamorous, stressful, and high-speed personal and professional antics of the young
stars, as they live together and collaborate daily on new content.”
It’s essentially a reality show for the ages, and we’re kind of all here for it!
Each episode will also give viewers a more in-depth look at the initiation process of
new members, as well as current members and their creative endeavors, and of course…
THE DRAMA.
We’ll also get a closer look at the housemates and their backstories, and what initially
attracted them to TikTok, as they credit the creative app for getting them out of some
troubling times.
The Hype House members also revealed that this deal marks the first time they’re “opening
their doors” giving fans a chance to see “far beyond what they see on social media.”
This is a very exciting addition to the Wheelhouse brand, as the president and CCO of the entertainment
company, Eric Wattenberg, gushed about the new deal, saying QUOTE, “Hype House is a
creative rocket ship, piloted by extremely hard-working, business-savvy young adults
who have already built incredible audiences that both platforms and brands can tap into.”
He added, “Unlike other social media, TikTok leans into singing, dancing and acting, and
we think it makes for a natural fit, and an easier lift for these young stars to ally
with a company focused on talent across the board.”
Many of the group’s members, including both Chase and Thomas have shared the news via
Instagram stories.
Thomas wrote on top of the article QUOTE, “Excited to work with @wheelhousegroup!!”
Hype House fans are thrilled about the news, and the fact that they get to see even more
of their favorite influences.
One fan wrote, “If you think I’m going to really waste my time watching reality shows
about the Hype House & the Sway House...you are right.
Pass the popcorn.”
Another fan tweeted, “Is this going to be the Laguna Beach of today?
I can’t wait!”
Others are concerned about the fact that we’re still in the middle of a pandemic, like this
user who said, “Wow so they don't follow any social distancing measures and in return
they get a show, surprising.”
Another user tweeted, “Yeah let's keep rewarding people for behavior that endangers others...why
not?
Hopefully the cameramen have good insurance/life insurance and at least get hazard pay of some
sort for having to follow these idiots around.”
As for whether or not Charli and Dixie D’Amelio will make appearances on the show, it is still
up in the air, however, Charli is reportedly working on a new project with Industrial Media,
a group that also works on reality series’ American Idol and 90 Day Fiance.
Hype House rivals, The Clubhouse, is also said to be working with ICM on a show, so
it looks like all your favorite TikTokers will be making TV appearances one way or another!
The more exciting thing is… which show will come out on top!
Now that’s a rivalry if I’ve ever seen one!
