Alex Cooper has launched her latest reality television venture with Unwell Productions set exclusively at YouTube.

The 2026 Unwell Winter Games is the first of its kind and will feature a group of 16 “polarizing” reality TV stars and digital influencers competing in a series of mental and physical challenges over four days at a luxury chalet in Park City, Utah.

The cast of the four-episode digital series includes divisive “Mormon Wives” stars Dakota Mortensen and Demi Engemann. The first season will also feature “Love Island” breakout Huda, “DWTS” pro Gleb Savchenko and Anna Delvey.

The first episode of the reality competition series will drop on Monday, April 6 with additional episodes airing daily from Tuesday to Thursday. The four-episode reality series expands Unwell’s direct-to-consumer business into fully self-produced premium content.

Unwell Winter Games is executive produced by Alex Cooper and Matt Kaplan. The digital series is hosted by YouTuber Adam W., with commentary by influencers and Unwell talent Graydon Cutler and Grace O’Malley.

The full cast includes Alissa Violet (YouTuber), Andrew Vetter (production assistant/bartender), Delvey, Cameron Jerrard (TikTok star), Mortensen, Engemann, Dylan Kevitch (TikToker), Ekin Su Cülcüloğlu (“Love Island”), Eyal Booker (“Love Island”), Gleb Savchenko (“Dancing With the Stars”), Hallie Batchelder (podcaster, TikTok star), Hannah Stocking (OG Viner), Huda Mustafa (“Love Island”), Joe Amabile (“The Bachelor”), Juliette Porter (“Siesta Key”), Louis Russell (“Too Hot to Handle,” “Perfect Match”), Niko Emanuilidis (influencer), Saraya Bevis (WWE wrestler) and Serena Pitt (“The Bachelor”).

Among the cast there will be natural alliances with “Bachelor” success story Amabile and Pitt as well as real-life couple Mustafa and Russell. Internet friends Batchelder and Kevitch may also pair up for challenges throughout the competition series.

Unwell will also continue to develop programming alongside premium distribution partners, including “Love Overboard,” currently streaming on Hulu and upcoming “Let’s Marry Harry” on Netflix, reflecting a multi-platform strategy that pairs owned content with select third-party collaborations.

Cooper’s production company has several reality programs in development. Its first series “Love Overboard” premiered on Hulu last week. Unwell will also premiere Harry Jowsey’s “Let’s Marry Harry” on Netflix.
