Unwell’s YouTube competition series is back — and this time, it’s for Summer Games with more than a dozen familiar faces.
Alex Cooper’s media network announced on Monday, August 31, that the second installment of the series will feature 16 reality stars, creators and internet personalities competing for a $250,000 cash prize.
The cast is set to feature Love Overboard’s Beau Bailey and Tim Demirjian, creator Chad Batchelder, Unwell Winter Games alum Hallie Batchelder, Calabasas Confidential’s Suede Brooks, Perfect Match alum Kassy Castillo and creator Brandon Edelman.
Rounding out the Unwell Summer Games cast is Love Island alums Pepe Garcia and Daniela Ortiz, social media personality Blake Gray, Too Hot to Handle’s Carly Lawrence, creator Zarah Kelleher, “For The Girls” host Becca Moore, Love Island UK alums Dejon Noel-Williams and Jourdan Riane and Perfect Match’s Jimmy Sotos.
“Filmed over four days at a luxury ranch in Canada, the series puts exes, rivals, friends and familiar faces under one roof for high-stakes competition and the fiery, unfiltered drama Unwell audiences have come to expect,” the show’s description reads.
The series is executive produced by Matt Kaplan and his wife Cooper, 32, Mina Lefevre and Eric Detwiler. Unwell Summer Games is hosted by Adam Waheed, with colorful commentary from Unwell Winter Games’ Cameron Gerrard and Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu.
“Our audience moves fluidly across platforms, and our job is to continue meeting them where they are with ideas that feel distinctly Unwell,” Kaplan, Co-CEO of Unwell, said in a statement. “The response to Winter Games reinforced the opportunity we see on YouTube, and we’re continuing to invest in original formats that bring together great talent, big personalities and the kind of entertainment our audience wants to be part of.”
Unwell Summer Games is part of Unwell’s expanding programming, including Love Overboard on Hulu, Netflix’s Let’s Marry Harry and more.
