New Season, New Shows, New Cameos
New data from Cameo uncovers Fall TV trends ahead of the 2021 Emmys
’Tis the season for sweatpants, food delivery, and weekends on the couch — AKA, Fall TV is back with fan favorites and brand new premieres. At Cameo, binge-watching isn’t just a season…it’s a lifestyle choice. But the Emmys are our Superbowl, so we’re gearing up to celebrate our TV fandoms accordingly.
TV is one of Cameo’s largest categories, so to kick off the season, our data team did a deep dive and found more than 6,000 television stars currently connecting with their binge-watching fans on Cameo. And so far in 2021 alone, we welcomed 770 new TV talent, including cult favorites like Succession’s patriarch Brian Cox, Smash and American Idol vet Katharine McPhee-Foster, Game of Thrones icon Maisie Williams, and Food Network star Alton Brown.
