Which TikTok Creators Star in Netflix’s New “Hype House” Series?

Thomas Petrou, 23, is a co-founder of the Hype House.

“My role in the Hype House is kind of like the dad of the house and I would say like the ‘manager,’ but I don’t take a percentage of anybody,” he explained in the show’s first episode.

Prior to joining TikTok (where he boasts 8 million followers), he built an impressive YouTube following that has since amassed over 1.8 million subscribers. Thomas was previously a part of Team 10, YouTuber Jake Paul’s content group. He joined in May 2019 and was a member for three months before getting fired in August 2019. In a since-deleted video, he explained that the firing was for "no reason" and that there were "a few complaints about a few things that added up and that was the excuse to fire me."

Thomas has feuded with a few TikTokers, including Hype House co-founder and former best friend Daisy Keech. Daisy left the social media collective, citing Thomas’s controlling behavior, and later tried to sue him and fellow Hype House member Chase Hudson over the trademark of the group name. The settled lawsuit is now under a nondisclosure agreement.

Since April 2020, Thomas and fellow TikToker Mia Hayward have started dating. The couple sparked engagement rumors in February 2021 after Thomas posted a number of pictures of him and Mia, concluding the series with a snap of a stunning ring. However, the rock is positioned on Mia’s right hand, so it’s suspected to just be a promise ring.

Chase Hudson, a.k.a Lil Huddy, is another co-founder of the Hype House. The 19-year-old and Charli D’Amelio were once the powerhouse couple of TikTok, but went through a public breakup after Chase cheated on Charli with influencer Nessa Barrett. Chase and Charli are now friendly and have even stirred some speculation over a possible reconciliation. However, he claims that they are “just friends” in the first episode of the show.

Chase helped establish the Hype House, but moved out of the mansion and into his own home to focus on his dreams of becoming a musician. It’s a source of contention between him and Thomas Petrou, who feels that Chase “bailed” on the content group. In the show we get a glimpse inside Chase’s place, which Vinnie hilariously says “low-key looks like Cheesecake Factory.”

Another Hyper co-founder, Alex Warren, is known for his many prank videos — a.k.a fake proposing to his girlfriend, fellow TikToker Kouvr Annon, destroying Kouvr’s car by running over it with a Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon (which he subsequently came under fire for doing), and putting Hype House member Larray’s house up for sale and hiring paid actors to play prospective buyers.

He is also an aspiring musician, and recently released the music video for his song, “Remember Me Happy.”

On TikTok, Alex boasts more than 14.5 millions followers, and on YouTube, over 2.6 million subscribers.

Kouvr Annon and Alex Warren have been together since 2018. Living in Hawaii, Kouvr decided to make the move to Los Angeles in 2019 to be closer to Alex. She frequently documents their relationship on TikTok, where she has 13.6 million followers.

In “Hype House,” she addresses the difficulty of navigating a relationship so enmeshed in social media.

“It’s definitely hard to separate social media and a relationship when you’re in a relationship online,” the 20-year-old said. “I live in a content house and I literally make content all day, and the fact that it’s invading my bedroom is just frustrating.”

Beauty influencer Nikita Dragun, who came out as a transgender woman in 2015, first established her social media presence on YouTube. In 2019, she launched her own brand, Dragun Beauty.

Nikita has garnered over 3.61 million subscribers on YouTube and over 14 million followers on TikTok since joining the platform in 2020. She’s also hosted her own Snapchat docuseries, Nikita Unfiltered.

Since rising to fame, Nikita has faced a number of controversies, including accusations of blackfishing and cultural appropriation. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, she’s received backlash for throwing large parties and attending events maskless.
