Young Hollywood is a privately held multimedia entertainment company founded in Los Angeles, California by R.J. Williams. Young Hollywood is a pioneer of web video, according to the Wall Street Journal,
The company licenses the “Young Hollywood” trademark domestically and internationally for a range of consumer products and services. In addition, they own a television network and are one of the world's largest producers and distributors of celebrity content in the digital space. Their content has received over 2 Billion views and they have created branded content for companies such as Coca-Cola, Subway, H&M, Electronic Arts, Samsung, and Unilever.
What originally started off as a digital entertainment company turned into a next generation network. Young Hollywood owns and operates Young Hollywood TV, a 24/7 network that delivers premium long-form programming centered around celebrity and lifestyle topics.
Young Hollywood originally teamed up exclusively with Apple in the beginning of 2015 to launch the network with exclusive content that could only be found on their Apple TV platform. The channel premiered seven new original half-hour series and programming across multiple platforms including reality, scripted series, animation, and documentaries with a focus on topics such as entertainment, music, sports, fashion, and lifestyle.
At the end of 2015, the network expanded to include devices such as Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Samsung Blu-ray players, and Android tablets and phones.
The network airs over 500 hours of new programming content annually, including the music themed “Backstage Diaries” and "Food Feed”, as well as airing content from its library of more than 2500 hours of programming.
Young Hollywood content is known for not touching gossip and being anti-paparazzi. Their website, YoungHollywood.com, officially launched in 2007 and reached 3 million unique visitors per month.
Young Hollywood had become one of the largest producers of original celebrity online programming in Hollywood; forming partnerships with several leading online platforms, including Yahoo!, Hulu, AOL and YouTube. This hyper-distribution network reached upwards of 100 million viewers. Eventually Young Hollywood evolved from these content partnerships to its latest iteration - producing original content for over-the-top channels on the Apple TV and Roku platforms.
