Mini bio
How it started.
Sidemen began on 19 October 2013 as The Ultimate Sidemen, a group playing GTA Online together. Harry Lewis, known as W2S, joined in 2014. Their early gaming collaborations grew into the challenges and group videos fans know today.
Growing together.
They brought their friendship into print with Sidemen: The Book in 2016, sharing house stories, football rivalries and memories of making videos. Their main YouTube channel passed 10 million subscribers in December 2020.
A bigger stage.
Inside began on YouTube in 2024 and moved to Netflix for its second season in 2025. The group also executive produced that season. Their charity football matches reached Wembley in 2025 and returned there in 2026.
The next chapter.
KSI announced his departure in May 2026. Miniminter, Zerkaa, Vikkstar123, TBJZL, Behzinga and W2S continue the collective, while the group’s reality format expanded into the forest with Outside on Netflix in September 2026.
