Jake and Logan Paul Aren’t Fighting — They’re Starring in a Reality Show for Max
Love them or hate them, the Paul brothers are not going away.
Fresh off their visit to President Donald Trump’s second inauguration, Jake Paul, 28, and brother Logan Paul, 29, are next appearing together in a reality show for Max debuting March 27, they announced today.
The show, Paul American, is surprisingly the siblings’ first foray into reality television. They’ve previously broken records on social media platforms and, most recently, in live-streaming, where Jake’s Nov. 15 bout with Mike Tyson drew 108 global viewers on Netflix. Jake won the fight via unanimous decision.
In a characteristic bit of P.T. Barnum-esque showmanship, the new show was teased with a poster of the brothers facing off, leading many to assume they would face off in the ring. But the only sparring will be for reality show cameras — and of the verbal variety.

Paul American promises to offer “the raw, unfiltered truth behind everything you think you know about us,” the Pauls say in a joint statement. It isn’t just about the headlines or the viral moments — it’s about the journey that got us here.”
That’s an ambitious claim for two digital-age celebrities who have virtually lived the entirety of their lives in front of smartphone cameras and ring lights since first breaking out on Vine in 2013.
Nina Rosenstein, executive vice president of HBO programming, late night and specials, assures there’s still more to be shown: This show uncovers a side of their relationships we’ve never seen, as brothers, sons, partners, as well as Logan’s transition into fatherhood. “It’s a raw and unexpected look into their world.”
Paul American is executive produced by Jake and Logan; Andrew Fried, Sarina Roma, Dane Lillegard for Boardwalk; Andrew Renzi; Nick Boak and Vivian Johnson Rogowski for North of Now; Nakisa Bidarian and Jeffrey Levin; and Michael John Warren, who also directs.
