I think what you need is the nested serializer:

class FollowerSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    username = serializers.CharField(source='user__username')

    class Meta:
        model = UserProfile
        fields = ('username', )


class FollowerSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    followers = FollowerSerializer(many=True, read_only=True)

    class Meta:
        model = UserProfile
        fields = ('followers', )
