Tubi Debuts First Exclusive Creator Series Slate
New Projects From Joey Graceffa, KevOnStage, Rock Squad, TheOneShu, Bigg Jah, and Dan & Riya, Join Tubi’s Growing Creator Lineup
SAN FRANCISCO – November 12, 2025 – Tubi (www.tubitv.com), Fox Corporation’s (NASDAQ: FOXA, FOX) free ad-supported streaming service, today announced its first slate of exclusive digital-first creator series from Joey Graceffa, KevOnStage, Rock Squad, TheOneShu, Bigg Jah, and Dan & Riya. Championing distinctive voices, Tubi is bringing more original stories from talented creators to Tubi’s over 100 million monthly active users.
“We’re responding to our viewers’ growing appetite for bold, original storytelling by doubling down on exclusive content from digital-first creators,” said Rich Bloom, General Manager, Creator Programs & Executive Vice President, Business Development at Tubi. “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.”
With viewers streaming 1 billion hours a month, Tubi continues to be a destination for bold creator-driven content alongside Hollywood hits that celebrate fandom in all its forms, with a focus on Coming of Age stories, Comedy and Thriller & Horror titles. Some of the exclusive series come from creators with proven success on Tubi, as the platform deepens its investment in standout talent and helps them take the next step towards their goals. New content coming exclusively to Tubi includes:
-
- Joey Graceffa is a content creator, author, and the mind behind Escape The Night, with over 2.2 billion views across his channel. The franchise returns to Tubi with a series, premiering this November, that serves as the grand finale to the saga, picking up where Season 4 left off as Joey and his friends are pulled into a twisted, 80s-inspired realm filled with cryptic clues, monstrous challenges, and shocking betrayals.
- Kevin Fredericks, also known as KevOnStage, is a multi-hyphenate entertainer, comedian, and New York Times bestselling author whose signature blend of humor and heart has made him a staple in digital entertainment. His new comedy series, Safe Space, which follows an underqualified Dr. Fredericks as he does his best to help struggling couples find their “safe space,” is now available on Tubi. His next series, Bald Brothers: A Freestyle Comedy Show, co-starring comedian Tony Baker, will premiere in early 2026.
- Rock Squad is a massively popular teen and family channel with over 4 million subscribers and billions of views, created by Nicole O’Rourke. Their series, Bloodsuckers: Origins, is now available to stream on Tubi for an exclusive window. The prequel returns to the 1990s to reveal Charlotte and Asher’s untold story from the Rock Squad vampire universe, expanding the hit teen franchise into a new chapter.
- Shuang Hu, better known online as TheOneShu, is an award-winning actress, writer, producer and content creator known for her sharp, relatable comedy skits, amassing over 13 million followers and 8 billion YouTube views. She brings her signature wit to Baby Shu & Fwends, a genre-bending anthology series that follows Baby Shu, a sharp-witted teen whose encounters with strangers and friends alike expose the absurd and darkly comic side of teenhood in the digital age, which launched on Tubi on November 8.
- Jahdai Pickett, also known as Bigg Jah, is a Los Angeles–based filmmaker, director, actor, and comedian with over 6 million fans across social media. Known for transforming his viral sketches into hit digital series, Pickett brings his sharp humor to L.A.U.G.H. (Life Ain’t Usually Great Here), an anthology that explores the dark yet comedic side of Los Angeles hood culture and the shenanigans people find themselves in, debuting on Tubi in January. Season 5 of his hit series, The Lesbian Homie, which has already had significant success on Tubi, will also premiere exclusively on Tubi in Spring 2026.
- Dan & Riya, part of the original launch of Tubi for Creators, brought their hit series Beverly Valley High, where they portray a range of quirky high school characters, to the platform earlier this year. Their new series,Till Drama Do Us Part, will be available for an exclusive window on Tubi and will premiere in early 2026. The series follows a dream destination wedding in Thailand that unravels into secrets, betrayals, and a shocking twist when the guests discover the entire event was staged for reality TV.
Digital-first creator content on Tubi has now grown to over 10,000 epsiodes from over 100 creators, part of the platform’s broader mission to champion new voices and expand access to Hollywood for emerging talent. In August, Tubi expanded its creator catalog with new content from Jimmy Donaldson (MrBeast), Jomboy Media, CelinaSpookyBoo, and Steven He, and most recently announced a partnership with Hartbeat, Kevin Hart’s global multi-platform entertainment company, to debut four exclusive creator-driven films led by Kinigra Deon and the 85 South team. Tomorrow, Tubi is also exclusively premiering a new creator-led comedy, SKIT, from veteran producer and former TV executive Evan Shapiro, which follows three college students determined to make a viral YouTube video, featuring a group of creators with passionate fan bases, including Nataly Aukar and Lukas Arnold.

Tubi Unwraps New Holiday Data Showing Streaming’s Growing Role in Retail Discovery and Spend
New Research from Tubi and The Harris Poll Reveals 7 in 10 Viewers Shop Online While Streaming, Highlighting a Major Opportunity for Brands to Reach Key Audiences on AVOD this Holiday Season
SAN FRANCISCO, October 30, 2025 – Tubi (www.tubi.tv), Fox Corporation’s (NASDAQ: FOXA, FOX) free ad-supported streaming service, today released new findings from its 2025 Retail and Holiday Study, conducted in partnership with The Harris Poll, exploring how young, multicultural and digitally-native audiences are using streaming as a companion to shopping, driving product discovery and purchasing this holiday season.
“Streaming plays a powerful role in driving holiday purchases,” said Sharon Silverstein, SVP, US Head of Verticals at Tubi. “With 71% of viewers shopping while streaming and nearly half making a purchase after seeing an ad on Tubi, our scale of highly engaged young, multicultural audiences provides brands with a direct path from impression to transaction.”
Highlights from the Tubi 2025 Retail and Holiday Study:
-
- Streaming Drives Spontaneous Shopping: 47% of viewers are driven to shop spontaneously while streaming, with 7 in 10 noting “I’m often shopping online while streaming TV and movies.” Purchases while streaming are most often influenced by ads (44%) and the TV/movie genre viewers watched while shopping (41%), with 60% agreeing “if I see an ad for a product I want, I buy it right away.”
- Retail Ads on Streaming Inspire Trust and Action: Two-thirds of viewers find products to buy through streaming and the same number trust ads from streaming services, driving 87% to take action (research, purchase, going to brand’s site or social channels, etc.) after seeing an attention-grabbing ad while streaming.
- Brand Connection is Driven by Authenticity and “New-stalgia”: Viewers feel connected to brands when they feel “real” (43%), high-quality (43%) and trustworthy (40%), and 77% of viewers are more likely to buy from independent creators (and the brands that support them through collaborations, revenue sharing, showcasing their work, etc.) than mainstream brands. Nostalgia is also driving purchases this holiday season, with 73% of viewers noting “watching nostalgic content prompts me to purchase from brands I associate with my own past experiences.”
- Holiday Shoppers Cut Subscriptions, But Not Gifting: Streaming subscriptions are the top category viewers plan to cut to manage budgets ahead of the holiday shopping season (37%), ahead of beauty and wellness treatments (30%) and travel (29%) – yet consumers are still willing to spend on those they love, with 79% agreeing that they’re willing to splurge on the perfect gift.
- Singles Want to Treat Themselves This Year: The holidays aren’t just about giving to others this season – singles want to treat themselves this year because holiday deals let them splurge on themselves (44%) and they want to feel good in the new year ahead (40%), with purchases including new clothing (65%), beauty/wellness treatments (44%) and beauty products (40%).
- The 9-to-5 Shopping Surge: Remote and hybrid workers are power-shoppers: 59% of viewers admitted to shopping online during breaks in the workday to make time-sensitive purchases (36%) and take advantage of promotions and discounts as soon as they see them (36%). Workday shoppers are most often buying clothing (47%), groceries (46%), and food (40%) during this time.
With over 100 million monthly active users and fans streaming 1 billion streaming hours per month, Tubi delivers a fully addressable, incremental audience for marketers. More than 95% percent of viewing on Tubi is on demand amongst a young, multicultural audience where 32% are between the ages of 18 and 34 and nearly half identify as multicultural (MRI Cord Evolution, August 2025). With a deep history in ad tech, Tubi offers advertisers innovative ad formats, performance-driven placements, and brand-safe environments designed to drive results across the full funnel.
About the Data: This survey was conducted online within the United States by The Harris Poll on behalf of Tubi from September 15, 2025, to September 25, 2025, among 1,531 nationally representative respondents ages 15-44 that stream video at least 1 hour a week and shop online at least once a month.

TUBI ANNOUNCES FOUR FILM SLATE WITH HARTBEAT IN FIRST EXCLUSIVE CREATOR CONTENT DEAL
Four New Creator-Driven Films Will Debut on Tubi, Including “Sundown” Starring Kinigra Deon and “85 South: Dead End” Featuring DC Young Fly, Chico Bean and Karlous Miller
SAN FRANCISCO, October 29, 2025 — Tubi (www.tubi.tv), Fox Corporation’s (NASDAQ: FOXA, FOX) ad-supported streaming service, today announced its first-ever exclusive creator content slate as part of its Tubi for Creators program. In an expanded collaboration with Hartbeat, Kevin Hart’s global multi-platform entertainment company, Tubi will debut four original, creator-driven films in 2026, led by Kinigra Deon, and DC Young Fly, Chico Bean, and Karlous Miller of “85 South Show.” The partnership propels the next generation of diverse storytellers into the broader entertainment ecosystem while giving them the creative ownership and visibility to reach Tubi’s 100 million monthly active users.
The multi-title deal kicks off with the film SUNDOWN, a supernatural thriller that was written, directed and stars the multi-hyphenate digital creator Kinigra Deon. The story follows a group of Black college friends who take a wrong turn into a racially hostile town where local myths turn terrifyingly real. The film 85 SOUTH: DEAD END features DC Young Fly, Chico Bean, and Karlous Miller in a satirical horror-comedy about a Southern road trip gone off the rails in a mysteriously offbeat town where no one ever leaves. Two additional films will be announced at a later date.
“At Tubi, we’re building a space where emerging and established creators can bring bold, breakthrough ideas to life and reach new audiences on our platform,” said Rich Bloom, General Manager, Creator Programs & Executive Vice President, Business Development at Tubi. “This first slate of exclusive titles under Tubi for Creators is an exciting milestone, and partnering with Hartbeat ensures we’re working with top-tier talent and voices that truly reflect our diverse audience. We’re proud to create a pathway for creators to break into Hollywood while staying true to their authentic voice.”
“Hartbeat has always been about championing the creators who shape culture and move audiences,” said Jeff Clanagan, President and Chief Distribution Officer at Hartbeat. “Through this partnership with Tubi, we’re excited to give talent like Kinigra Deon, DC Young Fly, Chico Bean, and Karlous Miller the space to bring their authentic voices — and their audiences — to a global streaming platform that celebrates creator-driven storytelling, delivering smart, funny, and fresh films that reflect the culture.”
Digital-first creator content on Tubi has now grown to nearly 10,000 titles, part of the platform’s broader mission to champion new voices and expand access to Hollywood for emerging talent. This partnership, brokered by Jeff Clanagan at Hartbeat and Tubi’s Sam Harowitz, marks an extension of the ongoing relationship, which previously brought a range of Hartbeat-produced TV series and films to the platform. Kinigra Deon is also one of the inaugural creators in the Tubi for Creators program, with her hit digital series like Vampire Siblings and College Life among the first creator‑led titles added to Tubi’s content collection.
