The new reality series House of Streams brings online personalities into a traditional television setting.
Premiering on June 18, the show will put eight Twitch streamers against each other in a bid to win one Bitcoin. At the time of writing, that prize is worth more than 104,000 dollars.
Show Concept and Prize
House of Streams mixes the world of live-streaming with unscripted television. Instead of awarding a simple cash prize or a luxury vacation, the grand reward is one full Bitcoin.
Show creator Mark Holland explained that everything about the series is meant to be different. Bitcoin adds excitement and underscores the digital roots of the competition.
Contestants and Format
The series features eight popular Twitch streamers who together have around four million followers. They come from a range of online fields, including video gaming, live “in real life” streams, and even streaming related to gambling.
Over nine episodes, the contestants live together in a villa in Mellieħa, Malta, for two weeks. Each day brings a new challenge. As they try to outdo one another, viewers see how the streamers handle teamwork, competition, and life behind the cameras.

Interactive Audience Role
One of the show’s most striking features is real-time chat interaction. Twitch’s core appeal is audience participation, and House of Streams leans into that fully. Fans can comment and vote as events unfold.
Holland noted that this level of immediacy sets the series apart. Viewers help shape outcomes by sending messages and influencing decisions. For the streamers, being on camera is what they know best, but the added pressure of live feedback adds a fresh twist.
Production Background
House of Streams is the first Netflix show filmed entirely in Malta. Holland’s family has deep ties to the island’s film industry. His late uncle, Rodney Holland, edited the movie Popeye and encouraged director Robert Altman to shoot parts of the film in Malta.
This connection laid the groundwork for Mark Holland’s own project. Stream House Media Productions handled the shoot. Mark’s brother Dominic worked as director of photography, while his 14-year-old son Finnian served as a video-gaming adviser.
Choice of Bitcoin Prize
Holland said the Bitcoin prize was meant to match the show’s aim of doing things differently. He felt a cash prize or a tropical trip would not stand out.
Bitcoin resonates with the digital world that streamers inhabit. Viewers and participants understand its value and its link to online culture. By choosing Bitcoin, the show offers a reward that carries both financial and symbolic weight.
