Byron Baes, the original Australian series that follows a flock of influencers in good ol' Byron Bay has finally dropped on Netflix, and if you haven't binged it already, where have you been?
Billed as a 'docu-soap', the series brings us some of the best (and probably the worst) of Aussie influencers living, surfing, and doing something called 'sound-healing'.
Yeah... it's a lot.
After bingeing a few episodes, you bet we've got a whole lot of questions.
So, we thought we'd pull together all the behind-the-scenes gossip we've found about the show, plus where you can find the cast on Instagram.
How much theByron Baescast are paid.
Speaking to The Daily Telegraph, ex-Bachelorstar Nathan Favro said the cast were paid "handsomely" to appear on the show.
Influencer Jade Kevin Foster agreed, adding: "They were very generous."
A source from the production team told the Daily Mail that the cast were all paid the same generous amount.
"Talent were all paid the same out-of-pocket expense to appear on the show, which was less than $500 a day to cover off work and living costs," they said.
Yep, that's a lot more than your typical reality TV pay check.
The locals didn't hate it as much as people seem to think.
It seems Byron Bay locals didn't hate the reality show as much as people seem to think.
"There's definitely like a sense of localism and a bit of a clique there," Elias Chigros told Smallzy's Surgery on Friday.
"I feel like a lot of the hype... it was a bit of a media sensation. The people that I know from there... they've all been super, super friendly and super welcoming."
Nathan Favro agreed, adding: "I don't think the actual animosity was actually directed towards any one cast member."
He continued: "It's more of like, someone's coming to exploit the beauty of Byron, and I don't think it was that at all. But we don't really experience any shouting across the street."
