First local production by Hayu for Sydney WorldPride

Streaming platform Hayu has announced its first local production with LGBTQIA+ interstitials Loud + Proud.

Hosted by Justin Hill the 6 x 7min series will launch in conjunction with Sydney WorldPride.

Guests include Samantha Jade, Jack Vidgen, Alfie Arcuri, Mitch & Mark, Carla from Bankstown, Deni Todorovic, Etcetera Etcetera, Dominique Topp and James Devlin.

Andy Cohen (Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen) and Lisa Vanderpump (Vanderpump Rules) will also make a special appearance from the ‘Hayu Hotseat’.

“Our first original content – short-form series Loud + Proud with Justin Hill – demonstrates Hayu’s support of our fans by providing LGBTQIA+ voices a global platform to share stories, advice and inspiration,” commented Hendrik McDermott, Managing Director, NBCUniversal Direct-To-Consumer, Global. “Diversity, equity and inclusion are at the heart of Hayu and at the heart of many of the stories Hayu streams.”

“Ever since I was little, my family has encouraged me to live my life Loud & Proud and I feel incredibly lucky to be working with the Hayu team who has brought the care and attention needed to create a truly inspiring series,” added Justin Hill. “I hope our show can help the emerging LGBTQIA+ community to feel empowered, unashamed and unafraid to be their true selves. This series will bring WorldPride back to where it started:
celebrating who we are… with some glitter thrown in for good measure!”

Hayu’s first-ever original content is a part of Hayu Australia’s wider WorldPride brand campaign, ‘Be Bold. Be Proud. Be You.’ – a campaign centred on empowerment and authenticity.
