And now… [checks notes]: a "Dimes Square Reality Show." Because of course.
'The Come Up,' which premieres in September on Freeform, is not so much The Real Housewives of Dimes Square as it is an upbeat “unscripted” docuseries about six Gen-Z New Yorkers with their hustle on. Light on sex and partying but filled with dreamy proclamations about life in the city — “I came when I was 17, and that changed everything, darling!” — and romantic street shots, particularly of the area outside Clandestino, the show attempts to capture what it’s like to be a limitlessly ambitious young person who wants it all (love, money, status). The cast features model-performer Fernando Casablancas, fashion designer Taofeek Abijako, photographer Sophia Wilson, nightlife personality Ebon Gore, and actors Claude Shwartz and Ben Hard. Hard, a strawberry blond with freckles, is the new kid, just in from San Antonio, working as a bartender, and eager to try new things, like stand-up comedy, hot dogs off the street, and boys.
