FaZe Clan Inc. recently announced two new series that will stream live on Twitch over the next two months. The first will be a variety show in the vein of Saturday Night Live, while the second will be a reality show in the vein of Big Brother.
“unFaZed,” is billed as the first-ever variety franchise that will feature a recurring ensemble cast and a new celebrity host every episode. FaZe Clan members, streamers, YouTubers, and other social media celebrities will serve as hosts.
FaZe’s version of Saturday Night Live sounds a lot like this. It’ll all be broadcast live (like Saturday Night Live), and each episode will feature a special guest host. More traditional celebrities, such as athletes, top-tier actors, musicians, and others, are expected to make guest appearances.
The show will premiere on June 2nd at 3 p.m. PT and will air every Thursday thereafter. Each episode will last three to four hours and will be streamed live on FaZe’s Twitch channel.
“FaZe1: The Warehouse,” FaZe’s other show, will premiere on May 5th and will stream 24 hours a day for 15 days.
The show is a reality show in the style of Big Brother that pits the top 20 contestants from FaZe’s global recruitment challenge against each other for our viewing pleasure. Former Big Brother showrunner Peter Tartaglia will direct The Warehouse for FaZe.
The final episode will air on May 22 after 15 days of challenges and a complete lack of privacy. The winner receives membership in FaZe Clan, a $1 million cryptocurrency signing bonus, a $250,000 sponsorship brand deal, and a Nissan GT-R sports car.
Both shows will be shot at FaZe’s new Hollywood warehouse studio. Starting May 5, you can watch FaZe’s Twitch channel.
