New Dating Series 'Date Drop' Is Like 'Love Island' But On Zoom

We've been waiting for a juicy new dating series to get stuck into and now, there's a new show just launched called Date Drop.

It's all very digital and 21st century, featuring several popular YouTube influencers who speed date through a series of Zoom calls.

Throughout the dating process, they go on a series of dates (a bit like Love Island, but way more intense than simply pulling one another for a chat) and have the opportunity to "drop" a fellow contestant, eliminating them from the dating game completely.

So who will be involved?! Well, let us talk you through the cast...

First up, there's Indiana Massara, who is mega popular on social media, with three million followers on TikTok and one million on Instagram.

The 17-year-old also stars in YouTube teen drama series Chicken Girls.

Also among the line up is 18-year-old Ben Azelart, known for his social media pranks.

The Insta-star has a whopping 5.3 million followers on Instagram, but in some rather awks news, he actually has a girlfriend - fellow influencer Lexi Rivera who he has been dating for the last two years.

Looks like he will probably be caught out preeeetty soon - we're looking forward to that drama.

Next up is Kira Kosarin, an actress from Nickelodeon series The Thundermans. She's also a singer and recently released her debut album, 'Off Brand'.

Kira is 22, and also has millions of followers on Insta, where you'll find her posting heaps of performances and acoustic sets.

TikTok star Tony Lopez will also be joining the cast, in a bid to find love.

Tony, who has an insane 16 million followers on TikTok, told PEOPLE: "I joined the show in hopes of finding a girl I can actually date and vibe with.

"The qualities I usually look for are that she's funny, talkative, supportive, flirty with ONLY ME, and has a dream that she is actually pursuing and not just dreaming of. And last but not least, she has to be sweet!"

Also joining the dating show are identical twins, Cooper and Luc Coyle who are best known for being fashion and style gurus over on the 'gram.

The 21 year olds also have a mega successful YouTube channel with 165,000 subscribers where they vlog about all things drag, beauty, makeovers and fashion.

Last but not least, meet Andrew Davila, who has over 600,000 subscribers on his YouTube channel.

The 20-year-old influencer is a former member of Sunset Park - a YouTube group known for posting vlogs and hilarious challenges.

Date Drop started yesterday over on the AwesomenessTV YouTube channel. You can watch the first episode here.
