New creators joining the program include:
- Jimmy Donaldson (“MrBeast”) will bring seasons 6-8 of his acclaimed YouTube channel “MrBeast,” covering videos originally released from 2023 through 2025, to Tubi, complementing the MrBeast live channel already available on the platform since 2023. Donaldson, founder of Beast Industries, has amassed over 421 million subscribers on YouTube and nearly one billion followers across social platforms, known for his viral challenges and philanthropic giveaways.

This past year Celina has worked to create a long-form, spooky series that she’s excited to bring to Tubi.
- Steven He is one of YouTube’s most prominent comedy sketch creators with 13 million subscribers and 4 billion views.
