Freeform takes a deeper dive into reality TV with The Come Up, premiering Tuesday, September 13. The Come Up, formerly known as Day to Night, takes a look at the wildest feelings and vibrant moments that define coming of age in post-pandemic New York. The network announced its cast of “icons” on Tuesday, August 2.
“The series follows six young disruptors who emerge from central New York to pursue their dreams and pursue love and art on their own terms,” describes Freeform. “The show follows New York City’s creative underground movement, giving viewers an exclusive look at how the next generation of icons define themselves and how culture is created.”
Taofeek Abijako, Fernando Casablancas, Ben Hard, Claude Shwartz, Ebon Trower and Sophia Wilson will star in the reality show. Freeform describes the group as “ambitious, action-oriented, and diverse Generation Z New Yorkers whose careers are on the rise” and are “thriving in their respective fields” of modeling, fashion design, photography, acting, and nightlife organizing.
“These six creatives emerge from the inner city with an infectious vibrancy and magnetism,” said Tara Duncan, president of Freeform and Onyx Collective. “They’re chasing love and art on their own terms, redefining what success means, and I’m so excited that our audience gets a front row seat to it all.”
The Come Up is one of three previously announced Freeform reality shows set to debut this year. The Deep End premiered on May 18 and Keep This Between Us premiered on August 29. The Come Up premiered and the first four episodes aired back-to-back on September 13. Thereafter, two episodes will air each week. All episodes will be available to stream on Hulu the day after they air.
The Come Up is produced by Cousins. Megan Sanchez-Warner (The Real Housewives of Orange County, Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood) serves as showrunner, and Jessica Chermayeff, Ana Veselic and Anne Alexander serve as executive producers. Chermayeff and Veselic also serve as directors for the series.
