"MY DREAM QUINCEAÑERA" REIMAGINED AS NEW SERIES STREAMING ON PARAMOUNT+ SEPT. 16

Series Produced by Awesomeness and Based on Original "My Dream Quinceañera," AwesomenessTV's Most-Viewed YouTube Series of All Time

August 23, 2022 - The coming-of-age reality series, MY DREAM QUINCEAÑERA, based on AwesomenessTV's most-viewed-ever YouTube series of the same name, will premiere as a brand-new reimaged series on Paramount+ this fall. Produced by Awesomeness, the 10-episode season is executive produced by Teresa Hsu ("Project Runway"). The first three episodes will be available on Friday, Sept. 16, followed by a weekly release of the season's remaining seven episodes.

MY DREAM QUINCEAÑERA follows three Southern Californian teens - Bayle Delgado, Romi Herrada and Angelica Luna - who go through simultaneous fun and drama-filled journeys to celebrate the coming-of-age birthday parties of their dreams. New for the Paramount+ series, all three ladies will have the added help of expert quinceañera planner Maria Perez to help make all their quince wishes come true.

Alongside the new series, AwesomenessTV will also debut a special short-form episode, "My Dream Quinceañera: Never Too Late," that will follow the story of a trans woman, Juliet, who was never given the opportunity for a quinceañera at age 15 and finally gets to experience her quince later in life as her true self. The episode will air across TikTok, YouTube, Snap, Instagram and Facebook.

MY DREAM QUINCEAÑERA is the second project from the Awesomeness Unscripted and Digital Studio to stream on Paramount+, following content creator reality competition AWESOMENESSTV'S NEXT INFLUENCER.

Production of the new series for Awesomeness is overseen by Ashley Kaplan, executive vice president of unscripted and digital studio; Paul J Medford, vice president of unscripted, current series; and Luke Wahl, vice president of unscripted original content.

Prior to its Paramount+ revival, MY DREAM QUINCEAÑERA was born as an AwesomenessTV YouTube series that spanned 39 seasons and more than 230 episodes, standing as AwesomenessTV's longest-running and most-viewed original series of all time.
