The D’Amelios are making their debut on a Hulu near you!
“The D’Amelio Show,” which consists of eight episodes, premieres on the streaming platform starting Friday, September 3.
After rising to seemingly overnight fame on TikTok at the ripe age of 15-years-old, Charli D’Amelio has become a household name, and following in her footsteps is her family.
Marc, Heidi, and Dixie D’Amelio quickly garnered their own audience, fans, and viewers on social media after Charli’s wildly popular dance videos took over the platform.

In the two short years since Charli shot to fame, the family of four packed up their suburban life in Connecticut and moved to Los Angeles, Ca.
The now 17-year-old has amassed more than 120 million followers on TikTok and Dixie (20) has 52 million.
The D’Amelio family knows a thing or two about the high highs and low lows of instant fame, and which has been documented on camera.
“The D’Amelio Show” will follow the family while Dixie and Charli pursue their high-profile social media careers (Dixie didn’t go to college), and everyone adjusts to life in the glaring spotlight.

Charli told The Post-it has not been an easy transition from their quiet-town life to paparazzi chasing down their every move.
“I think it’s a difficult adjustment to make,” the youngest D’Amelio said. “When you’re going from being in high school and only having to worry about who your friends are, to now having people watch every minuscule mistake you make . . . I don’t think I’m the type of person who has the perfect personality for it.”
“I’m a little bit more on the shy side, and I feel that’s definitely been one of the things I have to work on — especially when it comes to meeting people who support me,” she explained.
While Charli’s social media career has mainly been on TikTok, her older sister, Dixie, has expanded her career into the music and hosting industries.

Dixie released her debut single, “Be Happy,” last year and has “The Early Late Night Show Hosted By Dixie D’Amelio” which lives on her personal YouTube channel.
Dixie has seen overnight fame in a way different from Charli.
“People who we’ve grown up talking to, our friends, treat us and see us in the exact same way,” said Dixie. “And I think that’s what’s made this transition really normal. When people ask what’s it’s really like, we’re kind of living our normal lives — people sometimes ask for pictures and we do interviews — but it was such a transition time in our lives anyway. I was going to college, Charli was in high school … we were all settling down and we ramped our lives back up again but not in a negative way. It was a refresh; we didn’t even realize we needed that until we were in LA and living and doing all of this new stuff.”
Their dad, Marc, is a bit wary about the pitfalls his daughters can and have experienced.
“I think from a Dad perspective there’s always that fear that something could happen,” he said. “I’m 52 and I’ve seen a lot of people in the ’70s and ’80s come up through TV, young child stars, and more often than not things take a turn for the worse. I think the way we’re doing this as a family, and being there for each other, has made me a little bit less concerned — but I’m still keeping my eyes open and making sure when I can, that we’re taking the right steps.”
Charli lost nearly 1 million followers last November after the family posted their “Dinner With the D’Amelios” video to YouTube, and fans did not take kindly to how snotty and spoiled both Dixie and Charlie appeared.
Dixie gagged on the food, and Charli complained she wanted Dino Nuggets over what their private chef, Aaron May, had prepared.
Charli took some time away from social media following the backlash.
