became famous on social media first and added television afterward. [Charli D'Amelio](https://www.edgepedia.org/charli-damelio) began posting dance videos from her bedroom in Connecticut in 2019, just as TikTok was expanding rapidly among Gen Z users, and became the platform's most-followed person within roughly a year; Hulu's synopsis states she reached number one on the platform with over 150 million combined followers at age 16.[9](https://fortune.com/2022/11/04/marc-damelio-tiktok-fame/) • [3](https://www.hulu.com/series/the-damelio-show-ad993806-7961-4eb3-9f92-e7b9a349ae22?authuser=0) Her older sister Dixie built her own following and a music career, releasing the single \"Be Happy\" in 2020 and later signing with [L.A. Reid](https://www.edgepedia.org/l-a-reid)'s HitCo Entertainment.[6](https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/d-amelio-show-not-returning-232414624.html) Parents Marc, an entrepreneur and former Republican candidate for the Connecticut State Senate, and Heidi, a former model, joined the show as themselves.[10](https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2020/12/charli-damelio-tiktok-teens/616929/)\n\nThe family had decamped from the East Coast to an aggressively modern mansion in Los Angeles in the wake of the daughters' rise, and the show's stated goal was to present the real ups, downs, and authenticity behind a social-media-famous family.[2](https://www.elle.com/culture/movies-tv/a37477422/charli-dixie-damelio-the-damelio-show-interview/) • [1](https://www.sfchronicle.com/entertainment/movies-tv/article/the-d-amelio-show-what-you-need-to-know-about-21176946.php) A recurring theme, visible from the first episode, is the cost of constant visibility: reviewers described Charli and Dixie as living in a state of fear, overwhelmed by social-media hate and plagued by stress-induced psychosomatic pains.[7](https://www.newyorker.com/culture/on-television/according-to-the-damelio-show-being-famous-on-tiktok-sucks)\n\n### Seasons\n\n**Season 1 (2021).** The eight-episode first season followed the family's adjustment to fame and the cross-country move. It became Hulu's most-watched unscripted series among all first-season titles.[4](https://www.tvline.com/news/the-damelio-show-cancelled-hulu-season-4-charli-dixie-1235271670/) Critics noted how little manufactured drama it contained compared with its reality-TV predecessors; The Guardian called it \"aimless, restrained and unsure,\" and [The New Yorker](https://www.edgepedia.org/the-new-yorker) found it more sanitary than *Keeping Up with the Kardashians* but a useful portrait of social media's toll on its participants.[11](https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2021/sep/03/the-damelio-show-charli-dixie-tiktok) • [7](https://www.newyorker.com/culture/on-television/according-to-the-damelio-show-being-famous-on-tiktok-sucks)\n\n**Season 2 (2022).** The second season, ten episodes, followed Dixie and Charli as they struggled to separate their own self-image and identity from their online presence.[12](https://cdn4.creativecirclemedia.com/pvr/files/20220923-112910-PVTV0929PVR000%20for%20site.pdf) That year Charli won season 31 of *Dancing with the Stars*, and Dixie released her debut album.[4](https://www.tvline.com/news/the-damelio-show-cancelled-hulu-season-4-charli-dixie-1235271670/)\n\n**Season 3 (2023).** The final season premiered on September 20, 2023, with two episodes weekly, and concluded on October 18, 2023.[13](https://press.hulu.com/storage/uploads/5B/14/5B1438FF-7F10-9E1D-A7B8-2D4535A0033F/press-release-34-1403800.pdf) Its synopsis centered on tensions within the family: Charli moving from phone screens to live performance, Dixie navigating a newly single life in Hollywood, and the family working to build its business into an empire while the sisters sought more independence.[5](https://press.hulu.com/shows/the-damelio-show/) In the finale, Charli said she wanted to figure out how to balance her work life more, while Dixie was facing medical issues.[6](https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/d-amelio-show-not-returning-232414624.html)\n\n## Cancellation and aftermath\n\nIn June 2024, TVLine confirmed that the show would not return for a fourth season, with a source saying the family and Hulu mutually agreed not to make further seasons.[4](https://www.tvline.com/news/the-damelio-show-cancelled-hulu-season-4-charli-dixie-1235271670/) By then the family's focus had shifted to D'Amelio Brands, which included D'Amelio Footwear, the skincare brand ZitsAllright, the merchandise company Dam Fam Merch, and a venture capital firm focused on minority- and women-owned businesses.[6](https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/d-amelio-show-not-returning-232414624.html) Fortune estimated in 2022 that the family had built a business model worth roughly $70 million from sponsored ads, clothing lines, and the Hulu show itself.[9](https://fortune.com/2022/11/04/marc-damelio-tiktok-fame/)\n\n## Place in reality television\n\nCommentators consistently read the show as an heir to *Keeping Up with the Kardashians*, which ended its 14-year run in June 2021, a few months before the D'Amelio series premiered.[11](https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2021/sep/03/the-damelio-show-charli-dixie-tiktok) The comparison rests on timing, family focus, and the subject of young women famous for being themselves online, but the two shows worked differently: the Kardashian program served as a launchpad to ubiquity and a mechanism of narrative control, while The D'Amelio Show was a quieter record of a family reacting to fame that already existed. The D'Amelios represent a new iteration of the showbiz-family model, having achieved celebrity on social media first and then added reality television to a portfolio that included a podcast, a book, a clothing line with Hollister, and a makeup line with Morphe 2.[7](https://www.newyorker.com/culture/on-television/according-to-the-damelio-show-being-famous-on-tiktok-sucks)\n\n## References\n\n1.
