Alex Cooper Launches YouTube Reality Show Featuring Controversial Stars

Podcast host Alex Cooper, known for her show 'Call Her Daddy,' has launched a new reality show called 'Unwell Winter Games.' This program, set to premiere on YouTube, marks Cooper and her company's foray into premium original content production. The series, consisting of four episodes, will bring together 16 controversial figures from television and social media to compete in mental and physical challenges.

The initiative represents a strategic expansion for Unwell, which aims to offer content directly to its audience. Simultaneously, the company will continue to develop programs with premium distribution partners like Hulu and Netflix, where 'Love Overboard' and 'Let's Marry Harry' are already available, respectively.

The cast of 'Unwell Winter Games' includes Dakota Mortensen, known for 'The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,' who has been involved in recent controversies, including allegations of domestic abuse. Also participating is Demi Engemann, a 'MomTok' influencer with a history of controversies and defamation lawsuits. Other notable contestants include Anna Delvey (Anna Sorokin), the Russian con artist who served nearly four years in prison for fraud, and WWE superstar Saraya Bevis.

The show promises intense competition, unexpected alliances, and the drama that Unwell is known for. Contestants will be divided into two teams, competing for a final prize, as well as individual cash prizes throughout the challenges.

The series was filmed in winter and received financial support from the Utah Board of Tourism Development. The episodes will be released on Unwell's YouTube channel, starting April 6, with new episodes daily. The show is hosted by Adam W. (Adam Waheed), with commentary by Graydon Cutler and Grace O’Malley.

This project represents a significant step for Unwell, consolidating its expansion strategy in original content production and its direct distribution to the public.

The reality show 'Unwell Winter Games' is produced by Alex Cooper and her husband, Matt Kaplan, who co-founded the parent company of Unwell Network, Trending, in 2024. The full cast includes Alissa Violet, Andrew Vetter, Anna Delvey, Cameron Jerrard, Dakota Mortensen, Demi Engemann, Dylan Kevitch, Ekin Su Cülcüloğlu, Eyal Booker, Gleb Savchenko, Hallie Batchelder, Hannah Stocking, Huda Mustafa, Joe Amabile, Juliette Porter, Louis Russell, Niko Emanuilidis, Saraya Bevis, and Serena Pitt.

This initiative underscores Cooper's ambition to create a diversified and engaging content platform for her audience.

The launch of 'Unwell Winter Games' aligns with Unwell's strategy to expand its business through self-produced premium content and direct distribution to its audience. The company seeks to replicate the success of 'Call Her Daddy' and strengthen its presence in the digital entertainment market. The series promises to generate a significant impact, offering viewers a dose of drama and competition.

The combination of a controversial cast and engaging challenges positions 'Unwell Winter Games' as a promising project in the competitive world of online reality shows.
