Brothers and former YouTube stars Jake and Logan Paul are the subjects of a new Max original reality series, Paul American, debuting on March 27.
The eight-episode series promises archival and never-before-seen footage. Two of the biggest athletes in sports entertainment, the Pauls’ burgeoning empire includes over 150 million followers, a fight promotion company, a sports drink brand, a sports gaming and media company, a men’s personal care line and WWE championships.
Nina Rosenstein, executive VP of HBO programming, late night and specials, said: “Everyone thinks they know Jake and Logan Paul—they’re the original superstars of influencer culture and built their brand on being unfiltered. But Paul American goes deeper. This show uncovers a side of their relationships we’ve never seen, as brothers, sons and partners, as well as Logan’s transition into fatherhood. It’s a raw and unexpected look into their world.”
Jake and Logan Paul said: “We’ve built our lives in front of the world, but Paul American is the raw, unfiltered truth behind everything you think you know about us. It isn’t just about the headlines or the viral moments—it’s about the journey that got us here. For the first time, our fans will get to see the real people who shape our lives: our mom, dad, Jutta, Nina and everyone else in our inner circle. As athletes, we’ve poured everything into proving ourselves in the ring and breaking barriers in sports, entertainment and beyond. But at the core of it all is family and the relationships that keep us grounded. This series dives into the moments that define us and the bonds that make us unstoppable. The good, the bad and the ugly. It’s real and honest, showing the world a side of us they’ve never seen, and we couldn’t be more excited to share this story with our fans.”
The show is executive produced by Jake and Logan Paul; Andrew Fried, Sarina Roma, Dane Lillegard for Boardwalk; Andrew Renzi; Nick Boak and Vivian Johnson Rogowski for North of Now; Nakisa Bidarian and Jeffrey Levin; and Michael John Warren, who also directs.
