It is Alix Earle, the Hot Mess podcast host and Gen-Z influencer, who first went viral in 2022 and is officially bringing her world to Netflix. The streaming giant has confirmed that Alix Earle and her family will be the focus of a brand-new reality series set to debut in 2026. According to Netflix Tudum, the show will spotlight the it-girl’s modern family, which also includes her influencer sister Ashtin Earle, as well as her close-knit group of friends. 

“I share a lot of my life on social media, and people think they know everything there is to know about me and my family, but honestly, there’s still so much more,” Earle said in a to Tudum. 

“We are so happy that the show found a home with Netflix. At its core, this show is about our fun, loving, sometimes chaotic modern family, and how we always show up for each other through it all," Earle continued while talking to Tudum. For Earle, the move feels like a natural escalation.

Now 25, she is one of the most commercially powerful influencers in the world, with brand partnerships spanning Beauty, fashion, and lifestyle, including deals with names like Tarte, Gymshark, L’Oréal, and Benefit Cosmetics. Beyond social media, she hosts the wildly successful Hot Mess with Alix Earle podcast and regularly appears at major fashion events, from Coachella brand activations to New York Fashion Week front rows.
