🎢 Netflix Summer Break: Owning Manhattan Takes Over the Santa Monica Pier

 

Last weekend, Netflix turned the Santa Monica Pier into a reality TV playground—and Owning Manhattan was right in the center of it. From coast to coast, this was a moment.

 

 

The event, called Netflix Summer Break, brought together the entire Netflix Reality Universe—stars from Love Is Blind, Building the Band, Love on the Spectrum, Selling the City, The Ultimatum, and more. It was a full-on collision of energy, creativity, and community. And let me tell you, the vibes were immaculate.

 

 

Representing Owning Manhattan in that mix felt surreal. As a New Yorker through and through, being invited to LA for a Netflix event like this is more than an honor—it’s a milestone. The pier was electric, the sunset unreal, and the cast? All stars. Literally.

I rolled deep with my Owning Manhattan crew:
Genesis Suero, Jordan March, Jordan Hurt, Chloe Tucker-Cain, Jade Schencter, and Jessica Taylor—plus shoutout to the cast of Selling the City for keeping it real all weekend.

 

We weren’t just there to smile for cameras—we were networking with producers, sharing stories with other cast members, and building bonds across the entire Netflix reality universe. This isn’t just entertainment—it’s a new era of storytelling, and we’re all part of it.

 

 

California did not disappoint. Santa Monica Pier was lit up like a dream. But at the end of the day, New York is still my home base, and Owning Manhattan will always be my anchor.

The truth is, I’m just getting started. This event reminded me that we’re not just cast members—we’re creators, connectors, and catalysts. I’m grateful to Netflix for the opportunity, and I’m hungry for what’s next.

 

 

So, to all my fellow stars, to the Netflix fam, and to the fans who make this possible—thank you. Let’s keep pushing boundaries. Let’s make this moment mean something.

This is just the beginning.
