Zoe Spencer and Kendra G to lead OWN’s new digital creator series premiering July 2026
OWN will launch two new digital creator series this July, introducing “Glow Up in 5” and “Dating Download” led by Zoe Spencer and Kendra G.
LOS ANGELES — Zoe Spencer and Kendra G will headline two new digital creator series launching on OWN in July 2026, expanding the network’s push into creator‑led storytelling and women‑centered digital content. OWN says both series highlight women shaping beauty, dating and modern culture.
Zoe Spencer Leads “Glow Up in 5”
Actress and lifestyle creator Zoe Spencer will star in “Glow Up in 5”, a fast‑paced beauty series built around quick transformations. OWN calls Spencer a leading digital voice known for humor, authenticity and fearless creativity.
Each episode challenges her to complete a surprise makeup, hair or skincare look in five minutes or less. She works with no prep and no clues, relying on improv glam to finish the task. The series focuses on intentional preparation, confidence and presence. Episodes end with either a Glow‑Up or a Blow‑Up, giving viewers fast hacks and relatable moments.
Kendra G Hosts “Dating Download”
Media personality Kendra G, also known as “Kupid with a K,” will host Dating Download, a bold dating series exploring modern romance in a tech‑driven world. OWN says she brings a smart, savvy and magnetic approach to matchmaking.
The show pairs ten women with the type of man they say they want — the provider, the entrepreneur, the soft guy, the reformed player. Chemistry does not always match the checklist. After each date, couples must choose to Download and pursue the connection or Delete and walk away. The series blends candid conversations, surprising sparks and honest reactions.
Premieres July 2026 on OWN Digital
Both series debut in July 2026 and stream exclusively on OWN’s digital platforms, including WatchOWN.tv and connected devices.
OWN says the new creator‑led projects support its commitment to audience engagement and storytelling that reflects the cultural moment. The network highlights women who drive conversations, influence trends and shape digital spaces.
Both “Glow Up in 5” and “Dating Download” are produced by Content.23 and Pauline Malcolm‑Thornton’s BrandStory Architech.
