Popular YouTube group Sidemen are getting ready to release their own reality show. Here’s everything you need to know ahead of its release.
From selling out stadiums for football charity matches to launching a slew of food and drink brands, the Sidemen are one of the most popular groups on YouTube.
The collective have expanded well beyond just creating content for fans. But, as they still continue to take content to the next level, the Sidemen are set to release their very own reality show called ‘Inside’.
What is the Sidemen ‘Inside’ reality show?
The Sidemen first teased their show on May 19 with a cryptic trailer across social media.
A short 18-second teaser revealed we’ll see 10 celebrity contestants compete over seven days for an eye-watering £1 million ($1.27 million USD) cash prize.

Contestants are expected to be isolated in a house together for several days with all their belongings stripped from them and will take part in an array of daily tasks which will be hosted by all seven members of the Sidemen.
While the jackpot starts at £1 million, each decision contestants make will come with a price. Funds will be deducted as the show progresses, whether it be failing challenges, using simple necessities such as hot water, or access to locked rooms, which will all come at a cost.
However, eliminated housemates will have an option to add money back into the pot as they exit. The show will conclude with the final two contestants going head-to-head, where the winner will take home the jackpot all for themselves.

Not only that, the Sidemen have ventured into the food and beverage business with XIX Vodka, fast food restaurants Sides, and recently ‘BEST’ cereal.
In February 2024, the Sidemen even landed a documentary with Netflix, taking fans on a journey with “unprecedented access” to their meteoric success and the challenges the group has faced with their stardom.
