Jake Paul and Logan Paul ended speculation that they’ll be squaring off in the boxing ring.
The brothers on Thursday announced they’ll be launching a family reality series, “Paul American’’ starting March 27 on HBO Max. The eight-episode series will culminate with a season finale May 15.
“Everyone thinks they know Jake and Logan Paul — they’re the original superstars of influencer culture and built their brand on being unfiltered. But PAUL AMERICAN goes deeper,” Nina Rosenstein, executive vice president of HBO Programming, Late Night and Specials, said in a press release. ‘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.”
In a joint statement, the Paul brothers said, in part, ‘We’ve built our lives in front of the world, but PAUL AMERICAN is the raw, unfiltered truth behind everything you think you know about us. It isn’t just about the headlines or the viral moments — it’s about the journey that got us here. …It’s real and honest, showing the world a side of us they’ve never seen, and we couldn’t be more excited to share this story with our fans.’
The show will include appearances by their parents; Logan Paul’s fiancée, Nina Adgal, model and mother of the couple’s daughter, Esme; and Jake Paul’s girlfriend, Jutta Leerdam, a Dutch world champion speedskater who won a silver medal at the 2022 Winter Olympics.
Jake Paul, 28, and Logan Paul, 29, on Thursday opened an appearance on Instagram live with combative talk that culminated with a shoving match. But the grimaces melted into fake crying and smiles as they revealed the details of their announcement.
“Guys, everything we said besides beating each other’s ass is true, and maybe we’ll do that one day,” Logan Paul said. ‘But today, this is something we’ve waited our whole lives for, our entire lives.’’
On Tuesday, a post from the Pauls on X, formerly Twitter, showed them facing off in an image that stirred talk of a possible boxing match.
A prospective fight between Logan Paul and Conor McGregor has yet to materialize and Jake Paul has not announced his next fight since beating Mike Tyson by unanimous decision Nov. 15.
