Come February 10, 2016, YouTube will be launching its own exclusive series and movies, aptly named YouTube Red Originals.
YouTube will be starting with the following four programmes:
- A Trip to Unicorn Island: From the team at Astronauts Wanted, this feature-length movie gives fans an extraordinary look inside the life and journey of Lilly Singh as she embarks on a challenging 26-city global tour where she has to remember to practice what she preaches: happiness is the only thing worth fighting for.
- Dance Camp: This feature film from AwesomenessTV weaves an amazing story of unlikely friendships, unleashing passions and discovering yourself all through the power of dance.
- Lazer Team: In this feature-length action-comedy from Rooster Teeth and Fullscreen Films, four small-town losers stumble upon an alien ship carrying a mysterious cargo, leading to a battle to save Earth from an all-powerful enemy.
- Scare PewDiePie: In this reality-adventure series from the creator and executive producers of “The Walking Dead” at Skybound Entertainment and Maker Studios, experience thrills, chills and laughter as PewDiePie encounters terrifying situations inspired by his favorite video games.
YouTube is betting on the fact that the diverse creators of these films have built massive audiences on YouTube. SO with YouTube Red Originals, YouTube wants to help them tell bigger and bolder stories that delight their fans.
YouTube is making the originals available for no extra charge to subscribers of YouTube Red, currently launched only in the U.S., and also will let users worldwide purchase the films and TV series.
YouTube also launched a new YouTube Red Originals channel, which will feature clips, teasers and trailers for upcoming series and movies.
