Tubi, Fox Corp.’s free, ad-supported streaming service, has announced the first installment of its exclusive digital-first creator series with Joey Graceffa, KevOnStage, Rock Squad, TheOneShu, Bigg Jah and Dan & Riya.
The lineup also includes the return of Graceffa’s “Escape the Night,” a semi-scripted murder mystery series that aired for four seasons as a YouTube Original Series and garnered more than 2 billion views before the video platform was canceled in 2020 as part of YouTube’s original content cuts. “Escape the Night,” hosted by YouTube creator Graceffa, returns to Tubi with the series premiere of “the grand finale of the story” later this month. According to Tubi, the new series picks up where Season 4 left off, with “Joey and his friends drawn into a twisted 1980s-inspired realm filled with mysterious clues, monumental challenges, and shocking betrayals.”
Tubi’s digital-first creator content has now grown to over 10,000 titles from over 100 creators. This is part of the platform’s broader mission to champion new voices and expand access to Hollywood for emerging talent.
In August this year, Tubi expanded its creator catalog with new content from Jimmy Donaldson (aka Mr. Beast), Jomboy Media, CelinaSpookyBoo, and Steven He, after the streaming platform previously announced deals with creators including Rhett & Link’s Mythical, FunnyMike, Jubilee, Steven Lim, Ryan Bergara, and Watcher Entertainment, the digital studio founded by Shane Madej. Two weeks ago, Tubi announced a partnership with Kevin Hart’s multiplatform entertainment company, Hartbeat, to release four exclusive creator-driven films led by Kinigra Deon and the 85 South team.
“We are responding to our audience’s growing appetite for bold and original storytelling by doubling down on exclusive content from digital-first creators,” said Rich Bloom, GM and VP of Business Development for Creator Programs at Tubi. “The investment is paying off, and viewers who started the Tubi journey with creators are seeing stronger retention. This is proof that these stories are resonating with viewers and providing creators with an engaged audience.”
In addition to Graceffa’s “Escape the Night,” here’s a breakdown of the new creator series coming to Tubi.
