Actor and entrepreneur Dylan Sprouse and writer/director Brendan Columbus launch Wildmen, a weekly video podcast from Daylight Media. It premieres July 14th.
Dylan and Brendan met while attending New York University, where a college friendship quickly became the kind of decade-spanning bond that anchors their new show. The name Wildmen comes from their longtime group chat — a fitting origin for a series built around the same unfiltered energy, inside jokes, and off-the-rails conversations that have defined their relationship for years.
Each week, Dylan and Brendan will sit down for candid, comedy-driven conversations with friends, actors, comedians, musicians, creators, and cultural personalities from their orbit. Upcoming guests include Barbara Palvin, Cole Sprouse, KJ Apa, Jojo Siwa, Harry Jowsey, Camila Mendes, and more.
Wildmen blends comedy, candid conversation, and unexpected storytelling from inside a cozy basement bar-inspired studio. As the hosts step into new roles (Dylan into fatherhood, Brendan into marriage), audiences will get an unprecedented insight into Dylan’s life while falling in love with Brendan’s energy along the way.
“Wildmen works because nothing about Dylan and Brendan’s friendship feels performed. Our job was never to create the chemistry—it was simply to capture it ” says Ben Curtis, President of Daylight Media.
The official trailer is available now on Wildmen socials with the double-episode premiere set to debut Tuesday, July 14. New episodes will drop every Tuesday wherever listeners get their podcasts, with video available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube and Amazon Music.

About Dylan Sprouse & Brendan Columbus
Dylan Sprouse is an actor, entrepreneur, mead-maker, and lifelong genre obsessive. After growing up on screen, Dylan stepped away from acting to study video game design at NYU, where he met Brendan and began the friendship that would eventually inspire Wildmen. He has since built a creative life outside the traditional Hollywood mold, spanning film and television, brewing, hospitality, and a range of entrepreneurial ventures.
Brendan Columbus is a writer and director with a deep love of horror, movies, books, comic books, and beer. The son of filmmaker Chris Columbus—whose credits include Home Alone, Mrs. Doubtfire, and the first two Harry Potter films—Brendan grew up surrounded by storytelling, but has developed a creative voice that is distinctly his own: sharp, curious, cinematic, and deeply funny.
