Rooster Teeth’s ‘Million Dollars, But…’ Series To Feature Grace Helbig, Philip DeFranco, More

Austin, Texas-based digital studio Rooster Teeth is bringing back its hit series, Million Dollars, But…, for a fourth season. Set to premiere on March 27, influencers Grace Helbig, Hannah Hart, Phil DeFranco, and the cosplayer Jessica Nigri will serve as guest stars alongside series regulars Burnie Burns, Gavin Free, and Barbara Dunkelman.

In Million Dollars, But…, players posit fictional, absurd situations about what they would do for $1 million. For instance: “You get a million dollars, but every time you sneeze, you teleport to a random place in the world.” Then, these scenarios are envisioned onscreen to great comedic effect. The fourth season of Million Dollars, But… will premiere on Rooster Teeth’s SVOD platform, First — which it says counts 200,000 subscribers — beginning on March 27, before rolling out to YouTube and other free services.

“We couldn’t be more excited to collaborate with this group of awesome online personalities and introduce our show to their audiences,” the writer and director Blaine Gibson

said in a statement. “This season is weirder and more ridiculous than ever — people will get dismembered, people will get punched, people will be hunted by mariachi bands and teddy bears.”

In addition to being a hit series, Million Dollars, But… is also a card game that Rooster Teeth launched via a $1.4 million Kickstarter project last summer. Priced at $25, players put their morals, imaginations, and friendships to the test by imagining what they would or wouldn’t do for $1 million.

Rooster Teeth, which recently launched a gaming division to publish titles by indie developers, counts 30 million subscribers within its YouTube network, as well as 5 million unique monthly visitors to its online hub RoosterTeeth.com.
