Production

Development

In October 2015, YouTube announced YouTube Red, its paid subscription ad service that would offer subscribers an ad-free experience, which would also allow users to download videos for offline viewing.[5] In addition, the service would be launching original content exclusive to YouTube Red subscribers in 2016.[6]

On June 23, 2016, YouTube announced that "Foursome" was renewed for a second season.[7] The first two episodes of the second season aired on December 6, 2016.

On May 1, 2017, AwesomenessTV announced that "Foursome" was renewed for a third season.[8] The entire season was released on November 1, 2017. Logan Paul was removed from the upcoming fourth season on January 10, 2018, in the wake of a video Paul uploaded that attracted widespread criticism. The Alec Fixler role was completely written out without a replacement actor.[9]

Due to the extreme backlash to Logan Paul's controversial YouTube video, viewership took a deep dive, resulting in low ratings which eventually resulted in the show getting axed on May 27, 2019.
