Passion Distribution has acquired international distribution rights to season one of the popular reality title, Men of West Hollywood (10 x 60’), from production company Get Me Out Productions, for territories beyond the United States and Canada. Passion Distribution will be presenting Men of West Hollywood to buyers at the forthcoming MIPCOM 2022 (October 17-20), as a headline entertainment title in its slate to be announced shortly.
Men of West Hollywood follows six male socialites and the most drama-filled friend group in legendary West Hollywood as they live, work, and party. The cast, around half of whom identify as LGBTQ+, is led by “Mr. California” David Barta, a model and personal trainer; Justin Jedlica, a plastic surgery consultant, known around the world as the “Human Ken Doll”; Darren Tieste, a celebrity photographer; Murray Swanby, a club promoter and top underwear model; Brennen Taylor, a YouTube star; and Landon Wetterstrom. The Men make their way through WeHo's hottest parties and red carpet events dishing drama at every turn, as longtime relationships face their ultimate test, old flings are rekindled, tea is spilled, and new passions lead to scheming, cheating and betrayal.
The series premiered on Crackle Plus in January 2022. Men of West Hollywood was particularly resonant on social media with North American audiences, as the #1 show for social media engagement among Crackle Originals for month of launch.
