The TikTok-famous D'Amelio family — including sisters Charli and Dixie and their parents Heidi and Marc — is starring in their own Hulu docuseries that will premiere in 2021, they announced in an Instagram video on Friday.
The eight-episode series will follow the family as they "navigate their sudden rise to fame, all the while still staying true to their family values," Variety reported.
Charli D'Amelio, 16, is considered the video-centric social media platform TikTok's biggest star. In November, she became the first user to surpass 100 million followers.
Marc D'Amelio told Variety that the Hulu series will show a "behind-the-scenes" look at the family's life that isn't documented on their various social media platforms.
"Many people create impressions of us based off of short content, a few minutes or even seconds. But now, we're looking forward to sharing a side that you likely don't get to see on our social channels," he told Variety.

Charli, who became famous for her dancing videos on TikTok - particularly her version of the viral "Renegade" dance choreographed by Jalaiah Harmon - reached 100 million followers in November. The Verge reported Charli's success on TikTok represented a major milestone for a creator on the app, as it's taken some YouTube creators 14 years to reach the same follower count.
Marc D'Amelio said in a statement that the Hulu docuseries will give fans a look into their lives that they don't often showcase on their various online accounts, which includes their YouTube channel, which has 1.27 million subscribers and counting.
"We've always been a very close family, but this experience has brought us even closer and we're really excited to share a glimpse of our lives with the world," Marc D'Amelio said in a statement to Variety. "Many people create impressions of us based off of short content, a few minutes or even seconds. But now, we're looking forward to sharing a side that you likely don't get to see on our social channels."
Representatives for Hulu did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
