Five months after launching a creator-packed content hub, Tubi is rolling out a related slate of original programs. The Fox-owned streaming service is working with six creators — all of whom have seven-digit subscriber counts on YouTube — to produce exclusive shows that are beginning to roll out this month.
The shows included in the Tubi creator slate include a mix of new releases and revived favorites. Notably, Tubi is working with Joey Graceffa to bring a new season of Escape the Night to viewers. Graceffa’s murder mystery got its start on YouTube Red (the subscription service now known as YouTube Premium) and is now set to launch a fifth season that will conclude the star-studded saga.
Family channel Rock Squad is also expanding its existing offerings with a vampire prequel called Bloodsuckers: Origins. Along with Escape the Night, KevOnStage‘s Safe Space, and TheOneShu‘s anthology series Baby Shu & Fwends, Bloodsuckers: Origins is one of four newly announced shows to hit Tubi in November.
Tubi’s other creator-led originals are due out in 2026. Comedy is a primary theme of the slate, with Baby Shu & Fwends, Safe Space, and Bigg Jah‘s L.A.U.G.H. (Life Ain’t Usually Great Here) delivering the yuks. Tubi is also working with some creators who have already found success on the platform. That’s what it did when it included Tubi for Creators

“We’re responding to our viewers’ growing appetite for bold, original storytelling by doubling down on exclusive content from digital-first creators,” said Tubi GM of Creator Programs and EVP of Business Development Rich Bloom in a statement. “The investment is paying off, viewers who start their Tubi journey with creators show stronger retention – proof that these stories truly resonate with our audience and provide an engaged, incremental audience for creators.”
Bloom, along with other execs like VP of Creator Partnerships Kudzi Chikumbu, is part of Tubi’s concerted effort to break into the creator world. An action-packed programming slate is one way to do that, and the creators who are part of it will get the chance to bring their shows to an audience of 100 million monthly active users.
