Twelve TikTok Creators to Develop Ten Tubi Original Series
Across Animation, Horror, Reality, and YA

LOS ANGELES, CA – October 27, 2026 – Tubi and TikTok today announced the 12 creators selected for the Tubi x TikTok Creatorverse Incubator. The announcement marks Tubi’s biggest investment yet in building original programming with creators, bringing stories from breakout TikTok stars to Tubi’s audience of 110 million monthly active users.

First announced in March, the Creatorverse Incubator gives TikTok creators the opportunity to develop original long-form series for Tubi, expanding their reach to new audiences. The selected creators are recognized across entertainment, from award shows and film festival red carpets to TikTok’s Discover List and Showbiz List. Together, they will bring 10 new series exclusively to Tubi spanning scripted and unscripted programming across the fandoms that resonate with Tubi’s viewers, including animation, horror, reality, and YA:

  • WOULD YOU SURVIVE? is a horror series where Christopher Kiely (@christopherkiely) breaks down terrifying movies, monsters, and locations to decide whether the average person could realistically make it out alive. 
  • SCARE TOURS is a horror series that follows film expert Allie Tran (@chronicallyscary) as she takes fans off the screen and into the real world, visiting the locations of iconic scary movies, meeting special guests, and uncovering the stories behind the nation’s most beloved films.

  • KAI PICKS THE GUY is a dating show hosted by Kai Cameron (@kaicameronisacelebrity), where three men arrive thinking they’re there to date a female contestant, only to find themselves vetted on one-on-one “dates” with Kai instead.
  • THE ROACH CHRONICLES is an animated series created by Kendria Bland (@kendria_bland) that follows a dysfunctional family of cockroaches navigating family drama, school troubles, relationships, and unexpected adventures, proving that even the smallest creatures can have the biggest personalities.
  • NEVER HAVE I SPENT THE WINTER WITH THE ROMANO BROTHERS is a comedy series starring Yasmine Sahid (@ladyyasmina1) as a city teen who moves to small-town Alaska after losing her parents, navigating a complex romance with two brothers, played by Alex Maystrik and Pablo Hernandez (@durafest2).

  • A GREAT AUSTRALIAN GAY SIDEQUEST follows Marc Sebastian (@marcsebastianf) as he heads down under to explore some of Australia’s most unique tourist experiences and stays. 
  • ASKING FOR A FRIEND is a comedy series where Sabrina Brier (@sabrina.cinoman.brier) and celebrity guests sit down each episode to work through the everyday chaos of modern friendship, from oversharing roommates to overly competitive friends.
  • JAMIE CROW is an adult animated series created by Sebastian Krahl (@sebastiank22) that follows an 18-year-old high school senior consumed by a dangerous obsession with serial killers, studying their psychology, their mistakes, and their methods, as she becomes convinced she can surpass them all.


“The creators we’re working with have built a following, a point of view, and a body of work that people come back for,” said
Kudzi Chikumbu, VP of Creator Partnerships at Tubi. “The Incubator is where we come in as their partner, giving them the creative freedom to grow what they’ve started. We’re proud to support them as they create their first TV shows, making ambitious work they may not otherwise be able to make and growing beyond the audiences and formats that had previously defined them.”

“TikTok is where creators build passionate communities around their work and connect their stories with audiences around the world,” said Dawn Yang, Global Head of Entertainment & Micro-series at TikTok. “We’re excited to see these creators bring their unique perspectives to original series on Tubi. Their communities on TikTok show just how much people connect with creator-led storytelling, and this partnership gives them another way to share their work with new audiences.”

Creators have built some of the most passionate audiences on the internet, and Tubi continues to put their fans first by investing in creator-led storytelling. Since launching Tubi for Creators in June 2025, the platform has added more than 35,000 episodes from over 700 creators. Tubi has also brought the Creatorverse platform’s digital-first creator content to Fire TV and launched the Creatorverse Hub to make it easier for fans to browse, navigate, and dive into films and series by Tubi’s creator community. The Creatorverse Incubator is the next step in the evolution of Tubi’s creator ecosystem.
