‘UnReal’ Will Start Streaming on Netflix in August

The series ran on Lifetime from 2015 to 2018, and then Hulu picked it up for a shorter fourth season that premiered in July 2018. Hulu then had the series exclusively until their exclusivity deal ended and it became available on Tubi. Now Netflix has obtained the streaming rights.

“Yay!!! I will get Netflix for this!!,” one fan wrote.
“Looking forward to all episodes & watching you bring Graham to life! 👏👏,” another wrote.
“So excited to watch this. Have always wanted to binge it! 🙌,” another fan wrote.
“I loved that show! When I first read exciting news I thought it’s coming back! I’ll take what I can get, though,” another fan wrote.

Elliott Once Said His Character Was an ‘Intermission’ for the Series
According to IMDb, Elliott starred in all 38 episodes as the host of the reality show, Graham.
In 2016, Elliott interviewed with My Devotional Thoughts and talked a bit about the series and his role.
“I have a lot more stuff periodically throughout the episodes, which is exciting,” he commented. ” I just did the ADR for it, and there’s a lot more interesting stuff for me as the episodes go along. And it’s a lot of fun. And it’s a completely different type of tone and genre and show and anything I’ve been a part of in a while.”
He joked that he felt like his character played an “intermission” role for the show, giving the viewers a break in between the intense scenes.
“I almost feel like I’m the intermission,” he said about his character. “You have all this serious intensity and this manipulation and all this stuff–it’s great. And then the audience, maybe needs a break–like a minute thirty seconds or two minutes, whatever it is–and you bring out the gimp, and it’s the host. A good chance to laugh and have some fun, and then it goes back. And I’m honored to do that.”
Elliott is starring this fall in a movie with Lacey Chabert on Hallmark called “His & Hers.”
