Hartley is a new kind of show... Ever wanted to read your favorite TV show character’s DMs? With Hartley, you can. Follow the drama as it unfolds across tense video calls, catty comments, and more. You can even watch their phone screen as they dive into the strangest corners of the internet. Hartley follows six college freshmen from Hartley, CA, as they struggle with old and new relationships, increasingly complicated sexualities, and the confusion of coming of age in isolation. Watch as singer-songwriter Mia deals with both her still-obsessed ex Joey and her burgeoning NSFW career, as Joey goes from star QB with a football scholarship to loser stuck in his childhood bedroom, and as Mia’s flamboyantly self-obsessed BFF Travis becomes their go-between. See tortured artist Noah fall into the dark depths of the internet, imperfectly coping with his utter lack of romantic or sexual experience while his type-A overachiever twin Natalie hides her messy romantic history with his best friend Amy-- fearing, more than anything, that they’re both leaving him behind. Explore their stories and discover their best-kept secrets. Dive into our fictional social network featuring dozens of profiles, characters, and hidden truths waiting to be exposed.
