Netflix viewers threaten to cancel subscriptions over Hype House reality show Instagram: HypeHousela, NetflixNetflix is being met with outrage on all sides after announcing their upcoming reality show centered on the once-viral TikTok collective called the \u2018Hype House.\u2019 Humanity has officially stepped into the \u201cinfluencer age,\u201d which has pumped out a slew of high-profile online celebrities whose popularity rivals that of traditional Hollywood A-listers. As such, it stands to reason that mainstream media is taking an interest in social media stars \u2014 but it seems that not everyone is game for this particular phenomenon. On April 22, Netflix revealed that it is set to release an upcoming reality show following the Hype House, a TikTok content house that once boasted some of the platform\u2019s most popular creators like Chari D\u2019Amelio and Addison Rae. Kouvr Annon, Nikita Dragun, Sienna Mae Gomez, Chase Hudson, Larri Merritt, Thomas Petrou, Alex Warren, and Jack Wright \u2014 a.k.a Hype House \u2014 will star in a new unscripted series that will reveal a side of themselves (and their relationships) that we rarely see! pic.twitter.com\/NlRF5j0ZoF \u2014 Netflix (@netflix) April 22, 2021 While the Hype House is arguably a shadow of its former self, it seems that news of its forthcoming series was not met with enthusiasm, as a surprising number of critics have threatened to cancel their subscriptions over the show. In fact, plenty of outraged viewers are upset that the service canceled other shows and chose to go through with a social media reality series, instead, with quite a few angry at the cancellation of The Society. \u201cPLS RENEW THE SOCIETY, LITERALLY NOBODY WANTS TO WATCH THIS,\u201d one user wrote. R E N E W T H E S O C I E T Y pic.twitter.com\/VtZl97iHYa \u2014 Save The Society (@SaveTheSociet18) April 22, 2021 \u201cThe end subscription button is looking mighty fine right now,\u201d another quipped. Still others are annoyed that Netflix is giving a platform to controversial influencers, with many noting that Nikita Dragun (who is being featured in the series) has often flouted health and safety protocols amid the ongoing global situation. \u201cWhy give people who don\u2019t care about the pandemic a platform?\u201d one viewer asked. Literally??? All of them don\u2019t care about the pandemic and half of them are racist or homophobic. \u2014 B\u30df\u2606 (@murdocksfilms_) April 22, 2021 \u201cWhy are you giving this irresponsible TikTokers a series?\u201d another claimed. \u201cNo one asked for this.\u201d Of course, the Hype House isn\u2019t the only social media group to get its own show; the Sway House is also currently airing its own show on Instagram, while the D\u2019Amelio family is slated to have a reality show airing exclusively on Hulu later this year. While it\u2019s unlikely that the Hype House\u2019s Netflix show will be outright canceled in response to the backlash, judging by viewers\u2019 responses, it may not receive favorable reviews \u2014 but only time will tell, as a release date and other pertinent information have yet to be released.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
