The Earle Meets World cast centers on social media creator Alix Earle and her sister Ashtin Earle. Netflix has also confirmed their father TJ and his wife Ashley, younger siblings Izabel, Penelope and Thomas, mother Alisa and her boyfriend Todd, plus Alix’s childhood best friend Sally.
Earle Meets World premieres September 4, 2026, on Netflix. The unscripted series follows Alix as she manages viral fame, business ambitions, travel, friendships and the changing dynamics of a large blended family. Netflix describes it as an unfiltered look at the moments that do not fit inside a short social post.
Because this is a reality series, the word "cast" refers to real family members and friends appearing as themselves. Netflix has named the core group but has not released a complete episode-by-episode guest list as of August 20.

Cast and character guide
Alix Earle
Alix Earle is the lead of Earle Meets World. She became widely known through candid "Get Ready with Me" videos while studying at the University of Miami. Netflix says she has built a global brand by making followers feel as if they are hearing from a friend rather than watching a distant celebrity.
The series arrives at a transition point. Alix is expanding business projects, traveling and deciding how much of her life to share when a professional camera crew, rather than her own phone, controls the frame. That difference is part of the premise. She can edit a social video on her terms, but a reality series asks her to stay present through uncomfortable, emotional and ordinary moments.
Netflix’s official title page lists Alix as the star. Her confirmed social profile is available through her official links page.
Ashtin Earle
Ashtin Earle is Alix’s younger sister and the most prominent family member named in Netflix’s announcement. She is also a content creator, but the show presents her first as part of a close and sometimes chaotic sister relationship. That gives Earle Meets World a natural second perspective on fame, family expectations and the difference between public images and private conversations.
Viewers who know Ashtin only through clips may learn more about how the sisters support, annoy and challenge each other. Netflix specifically highlights sisterhood in the show’s description. Ashtin’s official Instagram is @ashtin.
TJ Earle and Ashley
TJ Earle is Alix and Ashtin’s father. Ashley is TJ’s wife and the sisters’ stepmother. They form one side of the blended family that the series follows. Netflix’s first-look materials place the wider family together rather than treating Alix’s career as a separate world.
Their participation should help explain how the household functions when adult children, younger children and multiple parental relationships all share the same family story. The official guide confirms both TJ and Ashley, but it does not assign them fixed reality-TV roles or promise a specific amount of screen time in every episode.
Izabel, Penelope and Thomas
Izabel, Penelope and Thomas are the children of TJ and Ashley and the younger half-siblings of Alix and Ashtin. Netflix names all three as members of the Earle Meets World cast. Their presence makes the series about more than two influencer sisters; it also follows a family with a wide age range and very different relationships to online attention.
Netflix has publicly confirmed the younger siblings as family members in the series. Episode credits will provide the clearest guide to how often each person appears after the season launches.
Alisa and Todd
Alisa is the mother of Alix and Ashtin. Todd is Alisa’s boyfriend. Netflix includes both in the core group, showing that the reality series will spend time with the maternal side of the family as well as TJ and Ashley’s household.
That structure can help the show portray a blended family without forcing every relationship into a simple label. Alix has said the family is modern, fun and messy, and the series is designed to capture how they help one another through stressful moments as well as celebrations.
Sally, Alix Earle’s childhood best friend
Sally is identified by Netflix as Alix’s best friend since childhood. She is the only friend outside the family named in the August 19 cast guide. That makes her an important link between Alix’s life before viral fame and the much larger public world around her now.
Netflix says the show will include Alix’s wider friend group, but it has not published a complete list of names. Sally is confirmed, while additional friends remain unconfirmed until Netflix, the series credits or the participants identify their involvement.
How is everyone in the Earle family connected?
Alix and Ashtin are sisters. Their parents are TJ and Alisa. TJ is married to Ashley, and TJ and Ashley have three children: Izabel, Penelope and Thomas. Alisa’s boyfriend is Todd. Sally is not a relative; she is Alix’s childhood best friend.
The show therefore moves between two parental households, two adult sisters, three younger siblings and a longtime friend. That is the clearest reason the series can be called Earle Meets World rather than simply an Alix Earle profile. It frames her public career through the people who knew her before and during its rapid growth.
What is Earle Meets World about?
Earle Meets World is an unscripted reality series about the gap between a creator’s feed and her full life. Netflix says viewers will see Alix building a business empire, traveling, dealing with family dynamics and allowing cameras into vulnerable or chaotic moments she might not normally post.
The series is not a competition, dating experiment or scripted drama. Its engine is access: can a personality known for direct-to-camera authenticity remain equally open when family members, friends and a production team share control of the story? That question gives the show a stronger premise than a simple collection of glamorous events.

When does Earle Meets World premiere on Netflix?
Earle Meets World premieres September 4, 2026, on Netflix. The official Netflix page classifies it as Reality TV and lists Alix Earle as the star. A trailer is available on the title page.
Netflix had not announced the episode count or a split release schedule as of August 20, 2026. The episode count, runtimes and episode titles therefore remained unconfirmed.
What the confirmed cast list does not include yet
Netflix’s first guide names Alix, Ashtin, TJ, Ashley, Izabel, Penelope, Thomas, Alisa, Todd and Sally. It does not confirm every friend, professional collaborator or romantic connection who might appear briefly. A trailer appearance also does not necessarily make someone part of the main cast.
The current cast list is limited to official confirmations. More names may emerge after the premiere through episode credits and direct participant confirmation.
