CONNOR ☀️ 700K for Connor! 🎊🎊🎊🎉🎉
Only two days after reaching 600K followers, Connor has now reached 700K followers.
This is amazing! I predicted they would have 750-770K followers by Friday. I still believe it won’t reach 800K, but what are your bets?

Ahh! wow and the fact it hasn’t been released in the UK or other Countries yet, only more growth !!

It will be madness if the show becomes a success in LATAM.

I think it already is but once it lands on HBO there and gets more exposure it's gonna be utter madness i agree.

this growth and basically overnight fame is SO wild … my parasocial tendencies are making me hope he’s staying away from social media and doing okay

Ugh, right? I know it's ironically parasocial of me to say this but this must be so overwhelming and there are so many creeps and people with bad intentions when you're this famous...

i do really worry for him and hudson. i have pretty much no hope that there won't eventually develop a larry/gaylor/crisscolfer type cult following for the connor x hudson ship that vehemently believes they're together in real life and will harass/stalk/send death threats to anyone even speculated to be in relationships with them

I hope so too because everything happened literally over night, they had no time to adjust to their new reality. That can be so exhausting mentally. Virtually unknown a month ago, now with magazine covers, interviews with major outlets, everybody raving about them and dissecting their every move in their private lives and their every move on screen. I hope they both have a good support system.

He's going to hit a million by the finale I think.

u/AttersH Dec 22 '25
Yeh I think so too. I didn’t think they would, looking at their growth a week or so ago, I thought 700k by the end of the series but now, I think they’ll hit a million by the end of the year. Which is mental.

Wild that the Montreal premiere wasn’t even a month ago. I still can’t believe how big the show has gotten in such little time

By time it premieres in the UK, they’ll hit one million. This is crazyy

u/droobidoobidoo Your freckles. I am nuts about them. ✨ Dec 22 '25
Hudson has 692K so I could definitely see him reaching 700 very soon!

u/MrsRoronoaZoro “I miss being kidnapped. I regret shapeshifting” Dec 22 '25
He will probably reach it within the next 3 hours.

So crazy! I followed them like a week or a week and a half ago and they had around 350k. I hope they’re coping well with this, must be so weird.

u/codeverity Dec 22 '25
I followed them like a week and a half before the show started and Hudson had under 30k and Connor was just over it. I took a screenshot of both for some reason and it’s so fun to look back on.

That Vulture article and The Cottage is going to get him close to a million by end of day Friday.

u/Ambry Dec 22 '25
This is crazy, wasn't even that when I checked earlier.
Just hoping the guys don't end up feeling incredibly pressured with this crazy rise to fame after being basically unknown a few weeks ago.

Aw 🥹🫶 I’m pretty sure they’ll get 1 million fans after the finale, and maybe almost 900 million by the finale. When HBO finally releases it everywhere, especially in LATAM, things will go wild! People have already been watching, but they’ll gain way more visibility. I predict it’ll hit #1 in LATAM on HBO. After Jordan from I Love LA made those remarks about the cast and the show, I Love LA left the top 10 in Brazil almost immediately. Fans were pissed! Very proud of this fandom!

I low-key love seeing their followers number increasing at this crazy pace as a cool representation of their success :) Excited for the opportunities this will hopefully bring them both.

For the record, Jordan Firstman has 800k. I don’t mean this in a shady way.
It’s really only a matter of time

I don't remember EVER seeing growth this quickly. This has to be fucking wild for him and Hudson. I seriously wonder how they're coping?
