Next Studios Unveils Upcoming Reality Series: Boston Influential

BOSTON, Feb. 13, 2025 -- Next Studios is proud to announce the development of its latest unscripted TV series, Boston Influential, a bold and stylish exploration of Boston's best known content creators as they navigate the intersection of ambition, friendship, and personal growth in one of America's most historic cities.

At a time when influencer culture is typically associated with Los Angeles and New York, Boston Influential shifts the spotlight to a new kind of creative hub. The series follows a diverse group of creators who are redefining success and authenticity in a city known more for tradition than trendsetting. These five trailblazers are carving out their own space in the digital world while managing the pressures of personal and professional life.

The cast features Ashleigh D'Mello, a fashion-forward creator whose monochromatic style has captured the attention of style enthusiasts across platforms. Claudiane Philippe, a bold cocktail and lifestyle expert, is known for blending Boston's vibrant nightlife with wellness and balance. Maeve Stier, style creator and emerging entrepreneur, is preparing to launch her fashion brand, Maeflowers, while navigating the challenges of building a business from the ground up. Brayan Mesa, a photographer and lifestyle content creator, is finding his voice as he balances personal growth with professional ambition. And last, but certainly not least: Kate Weiser, founder of Bucket List Boston, is making a bold career move, leaving the corporate world to focus on bolstering her personal brand and sharing the city's most exciting experiences.

Boston Influential offers viewers an authentic and cinematic look into the complexities of friendship and self-discovery in the digital age. From exclusive events, brand launches, and a trip to Martha's Vineyard, to intimate moments of vulnerability, the series pulls back the curtain on the content creator lifestyle—showing that behind every curated post is a real person with dreams, struggles, and stories worth telling.

Produced by Next Studios, Boston Influential blends high-end production with authentic, forward-thinking storytelling. The series is currently in production, with further details about release plans and distribution to be announced.
