Netflix's Hype House: Which TikTok influencers star in new show?
The Netflix show you've been waiting for
Since downloading TikTok in the first lockdown, the Hype House collective have been on our radar. And now, they're on our TV screens too, thanks to new Netflix reality show Hype House, which gets up close and personal with the content creators. But what actually *is* Hype House, and who is a part of it?
Essentially, Hype House is a collective of TikTok and social media influencers, which was formed in December 2019 by 19-year-old TikTok star Lil Huddy (Chase Hudson) and 23-year-old YouTuber Thomas Petrou. The pair decided to move a group of young influencers into one space to make creating content easier and more efficient, allowing them to star in and promote each other's videos.
Initially, Hype House consisted of Thomas Petrou, Chase Hudson, Daisy Keech, Alex Warren, Charli and Dixie D’Amelio, Addison Rae, Kouvr Annon, Avani Gregg, Ryland Storms, Calvin Goldby, Connor Yates, Patrick Huston, and Nick Austin.
Now though, it's a fairly different line up, with the Netflix show instead starring a mix of old and new faces - Petrou, Hudson, Warren, Annon, Storms, Goldby, Huston and Yates from before are joined by Larray (Larri Merritt), Mia Hayward, Jack Wright, Michael Sanzone, Sienna Mae Gomez, and Vinnie Hacker, as well as Nikita Dragun.
Here's a quick run down of everyone associated with the Hype House, including where to find them on TikTok (of course.)
