The popular YouTube group Sidemen has launched the much-anticipated second season of their reality TV show, Inside, which is now available on Netflix. Following the success of the first season, which garnered over a million views on their Side+ platform and YouTube channel, the Sidemen have partnered with Netflix to offer this new installment to their fans. The show's appeal continues to grow as familiar faces return to the screen, including Love Island’s Whitney Adebayo.
Inside, which takes inspiration from reality television hits such as Big Brother and The Traitors, features ten contestants living together under one roof for the span of seven days. During this time, they will engage in various challenges, competing for an impressive prize pot of $1 million (£770,000). But there's more to it than just competition; the contestants face the additional pressure of knowing their decisions can dramatically diminish the prize funds.
The first episode of season two, intriguingly titled 'Fresh Meat, Fresh Money,' premiered on Monday, March 17, 2025, and is now available for streaming. Episode two followed quickly on Tuesday, March 18, and subsequent episodes are scheduled to drop daily through to the season finale on Sunday, March 23, 2025. Each new segment will be available for viewers starting at 8 AM GMT, ensuring fans can keep pace with the action.
Sidemen, who are collectively known for their engaging and dynamic personas, expressed their excitement about the new season during discussions with Netflix. "When we came up with the idea of Inside, we knew we wanted to shake up the game. We all grew up watching reality TV and are big fans of the drama and jeopardy..." the group stated, showcasing their passion for entertainment. They added, "Combining [the elements of reality shows] with a prize fund and the challenges... we knew people would be hooked." Their enthusiasm highlights their commitment to captivating their audience.
With the stakes so high, the contestants are tasked with making strategic choices: each decision they make—such as engaging with challenges or spending on luxury items—can lead to significant changes to the overall prize. This attribute of the game not only accentuates the tension but also keeps viewers glued to their screens, wondering how each contestant will fare.
The first season concluded with winners Chloe Burrows from Love Island and The Circle star Manrika Khaira splitting the remaining £150,000 prize pot, setting high expectations for the current season. Fans are eager to see how the new set of competitors, including Whitney Adebayo, will navigate the challenges and strive for the big prize.
