During its opening weekend, Side Hustlers, which hails from Hello Sunshine, a part of Candle Media, and Ally Financial, was the #1 on-demand title on The Roku Channel, according to the streamer.
The docuseries follows ambitious female entrepreneurs vying for the chance to build multi-million dollar companies, while juggling the demands of their personal lives and day jobs. Season two will introduce a new group of female entrepreneurs and small business owners, seeking life-changing advice and investments from mentors Grede and Graham.
“Working with the extraordinary women of season one to turn their dreams into realities was an unforgettable experience, and we can’t wait for viewers to see what we have in store for season two, along with Roku, Hello Sunshine, and Ally,” said Grede, CEO of Good American and investor on “Side Hustlers,” and Graham, supermodel, entrepreneur, and investor on Side Hustlers. “Creating opportunities for women is something that we are both incredibly passionate about, and we can’t wait for fans to meet a new group of brilliant female entrepreneurs ready to transform their side hustles into investment-worthy main hustles.”
