Myspace is preparing a full relaunch, its owners have confirmed.
Chris and Tim Vanderhook disclosed the plans in a new documentary titled Myspace, directed by Tommy Avallone, positioning the revived platform as a deliberate alternative to today’s algorithm-driven social apps.
The vision leans into everything modern social media has largely abandoned.
The redesign would embrace a deliberately old-school approach: a purely chronological feed instead of addictive engagement loops, fully customizable profile HTML, background music, and the classic “Top 8” friend ranking.
The emphasis would return to creativity, personal expression, and music discovery rather than endless scrolling.
No firm launch date has been set. The Vanderhooks say they are waiting for the right moment before a complete rollout, yet the numbers already point to real momentum.
Monthly active users have reportedly climbed from 200,000 in 2023 to nearly 6 million in 2026, fueled largely by Millennial nostalgia and widespread burnout with current platforms.
That growth has produced rare good news for the brand. Myspace is said to have recorded its first profitable year in more than a decade—an especially notable turn given its long struggles.
After previously investing more than $150 million in earlier revival attempts following their purchase from News Corp, the brothers remain committed to seeing the effort through.
