Set to launch on the new streaming platform Quibi this week is Barkitecture, the home building-pet focused crossover show you didn't know you needed. While the pets are the focus, what do you need to know about hosts Tyler Cameron and Delia Kenza?
Quibi is the "quick bites" streaming platform launching in North America on Monday will feature a host of new shows to stream, but the catch is that none of the episodes are longer than 10 minutes. On the day of its launch, there will be 50 new programs available to stream immediately, ranging from movies to news stories to reality shows. Within the first year, Quibi plans to launch 175 original shows, including their dog lifestyle show Barkitecture, co-hosted by interior designer Delia Kenza and The Bachelorette's Tyler Cameron.
Fans of The Bachelorette will recognize Tyler Cameron from his time on Hannah Brown's season, but this show doesn't have anything to do with his search for love. This time around, Cameron is putting his carpentry skills to good use in order to create "ridiculously extravagant dog houses" (via Deadline). Following his time in Bachelor Nation, the 27-year-old has worked as a model, recently started his own construction company and is an ambassador for the non-profit ABC Food Tours which focuses on teaching underprivileged New York City youth about how to lead active, healthy lifestyles while touring restaurants in their local community.
Cameron's co-host for the series, Delia Kenza, is not as well known in the reality TV realm, but she's an expert in her field. Kenza is a Brooklyn-based interior designer who's been working in the industry for over a decade and specializes in completely transforming urban spaces. The designer is known for having a modern, bold style which she's sure to show off on the series as she creates fully customized luxury dog houses for her clients. Kenza, alongside Cameron, will work with celebrity clients who are looking to give their dogs houses so luxurious that "being in the dog house" won't be considered a bad thing anymore. Check out the full teaser trailer here.
Quibi announced that Barkitecture will be a part of it's first wave of television shows that will be released on Monday when it launches. A teaser trailer was released back in February that showed off the types of celebrities you can expect to see on the show. The trailer featured Cameron building a dog house for Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards. Quibi has said that other celebrity clients will include fellow Real Housewives and Bravo personality Lisa Vanderpump, as well as Rumer Willis and Joel McHale.
While it may seem like there's a surplus of streaming platforms available and some would argue there's too much content to consume already, Quibi is taking the interesting approach with their quick bite strategy. Barkitecture seems to be cornering the market with their pet-themed twist to a 10 minute HGTV-style show, and there's no doubt that Tyler Cameron and Delia Kenza will be able to keep everyone entertained.
