Good morning legendary Coming to Netflix.
Hosted by Rhett McLaughlin and Linc Neil, the YouTube variety show launched in 2012 and has released new episodes every week since. The show sees Neil and McLaughlin take on challenges and games (sometimes with a celebrity guest), testing outlandish products, and sometimes conducting surprise taste tests.
Episodes of the show will premiere on the daily subscription streaming giant along with their primary YouTube channel, in a large-scale deal between Mythical Entertainment and Netflix.
The partnership will include Gloomwhich releases new episodes every day from Monday to Friday, in addition to Legendary cuisine and Last mealsLed by legendary chef Josh Shearer. Legendary cuisine It sees Scherer and his team creating bizarre culinary inventions and taking on culinary challenges, while… Last meals It sees him meeting celebrity guests as they eat the meal they will eat on their last day on Earth. The shows will join Netflix starting September 7.
“One thing we’ve always believed is that great entertainment should meet people where they are,” McLaughlin and Neal said in a statement. “We’re excited to start working with Netflix to make this happen Good morning, legendary cuisineand Last meals “For more viewers, we believe this is just the beginning of a really fun collaboration.”
Netflix has been making aggressive deals with top YouTube creators, podcasters and publishers in recent months, looking to bolster its library alongside its original scripted and unscripted content. Last week, she signed a deal with the Stokes Twins, who have more than 140 million subscribers on YouTube.
What makes the Mythical deal unique is that unlike Ms. Rachel, Jordan, Salish Matter or Marc Roper, who repurposed content they’ve already produced and packaged for Netflix, or the Stokes Twins, who will bring their archive to Netflix, Mythical will release its daily episodes on Netflix and YouTube at the same time.
Netflix has also cut other deals, e.g Hot To create an exclusive version of this offering for its platform, or with a group of publishers (including… Hollywood Reporter Owner of PMX) to bring short-form content from its platforms to its own.
In the case of GMM, Neal and McLaughlin had been hosting and producing the show for nearly 14 years, and with over 10 billion views they were gunning for an Emmy. Although the Television Academy has been slow to respond to YouTube shows, perhaps a presence on Netflix is something that gets the show in front of an audience that might take the format seriously. And for Netflix, which has struggled to figure out a talk show format that sticks, it’s an opportunity to partner with one of the more established players in the space, and see if it works as well as some of YouTube’s other deals.
