FX & Hulu Unveil Next The New York Times Presents Installment

Who Gets to Be an Influencer?, the seventh installment of The New York Times Presents series, is slated to premiere on FX and Hulu in June.

From The New York Times and producer/director Lora Moftah, Who Gets to Be an Influencer? chronicles the rise of Collab Crib, one of the first mainstream Black creator mansions, documenting their drive to achieve social media stardom in 90 days. It will launch on FX and Hulu on Friday, June 4.

 The character-based documentary will capture the influencers as they wrestle with a profound challenge: how can they succeed in a nascent industry that seems tilted to their disadvantage? For a growing number of this in Gen Z, becoming a social media influencer is the preferred path to making it big, and for Black creators, the stakes and hurdles are even higher.

 The New York Times Presents, produced by The New York Times and Left/Right, is a series of standalone documentaries powered by the journalism of The New York Times. Each of the ten individual documentaries will air simultaneously on FX and on Hulu. Previous installments, including The Killing of Breonna Taylor and Framing Britney Spears, are currently streaming on FX on Hulu.
