Jake Paul and Logan Paul are launching a new unscripted combat sports reality series that will air on Hulu and ESPN, the brothers announced alongside producers Nakisa Bidarian and Brent Montgomery. The show is described as a "ruthless" fight-to-survive competition in which eliminations are not settled by a vote but by a fight, and fighters live and train together in the wild before each bout.
Team structure and elimination rules
Contestants are split into rival teams coached by Jake and Logan Paul, with fighters selecting their own matchups. The logline frames alliances and rivalries as "a strategic weapon," and losers of each fight are sent home until one man and one woman remain. Awful Announcing noted the repeated "in the wild" phrasing and the show's prior working title of "Fight Island," suggesting a Survivor-like wilderness component.
Producers, partners and production timeline
The series is being produced through Most Valuable Promotions, the Paul brothers' fight promotion company, in partnership with Wheelhouse, the unscripted firm led by Brent Montgomery. It is currently titled "Untitled Paul Brothers Fight Competition Series" and is already building its cast. Production is scheduled to begin in 2027, with no premiere date announced for Hulu or ESPN at the time of the announcement.
Why the Paul brand sells fights
Jake Paul's boxing bouts with Mike Tyson and Anthony Joshua each drew tens of millions of viewers, and Most Valuable Promotions has staged fight cards for years. Logan Paul has fought Floyd Mayweather Jr. and held a WWE championship, giving both brothers a track record of moving audiences that the new series is built to extend. The pair have also previously promoted events through WWE and other combat-sports ventures.
Other developments at Hulu
Separately, Hulu set a premiere date of October 26 for "The Mob," a celebrity reality competition hosted by Parker Posey in which contestants in an Italian villa take on mob movie-inspired jobs to win up to $250,000, with new episodes released weekly. The inaugural cast includes Bruno Tonioli, Demi Engemann, Harry Jowsey, Chelsea Lazkani, Debi Mazar, Willam Belli, Maria Georgas, Shane Parton, Joe Gorga, Bella Palk, Romeo and Aida Turturro. The series is produced by Studio Lambert and Primal Media, with Tim Harcourt, Jack Burgess, Niall O'Driscoll, Stephen Lambert, Adam Wood, Mat Steiner, David Mortimer, Parker Posey and showrunner Susan House among the executive producers.
What to watch next
No premiere window has been disclosed for the Paul brothers' Hulu and ESPN competition beyond the 2027 production start, making the next verifiable milestone the announcement of a title, cast and air date for that series.
