Alex Cooper and Trevor Noah are among creators who have new series coming to YouTube. The Google-owned platform unveiled its upcoming slate for new and returning series Wednesday at YouTube Brandcast in New York.

Cooper announced four new series from her Unwell slate, which will kick off with new competition series Unwell Games, set to to premiere late summer/fall 2026 on YouTube. All four are produced by her Unwell Productions.

Unwell Games is a high-stakes reality competition where top creators and reality stars live under one roof, battling for power and prize money by day while alliances, relationships and drama unravel by night.

It will be followed by Pot Stirrers, a two-part miniseries premiering Thanksgiving weekend 2026. Per the description, Cooper hosts a glamorous, chaos-fueled Thanksgiving dinner that turns into a high-stakes social experiment when two secret “Pot Stirrers” are planted among a volatile group of reality stars and internet personalities – each working to sabotage the night from within for a shot at a massive cash prize.

New microdrama Holiday Hard Launch premieres winter 2026. In it, two strangers – one desperate to prove she has her life together, the other trying to get his family off his back – agree to fake a relationship for the holiday season. But as their “relationship” starts to take on a life of its own – blurring lines between performance and reality, and drawing in friends, exes, and online attention – they find themselves risking real heartbreak for something that was never supposed to be real.

And Cooper’s new docuseries Before The Steps premieres spring 2027 on YouTube. The multi-part docuseries pulls back the velvet curtain on fashion’s most iconic night, following celebrities in the high-pressure months leading up to the Met Gala.

Noah will be launching his prestige travel series Trevor Noah’s World Tour, described as the ultimate global hangout where comedy, culture and spontaneity collide. In it, Noah journeys from city to city with friends, collaborators and surprise guests, each episode blending his signature humor with authentic, on-the-ground experiences that spotlight local people, food, and culture. A YouTube premiere date is TBA.

Creators Kareem Rahma, Jesser, Quen Blackwell and Erling Halaand also have new series coming to YouTube.

Additionally, Dwyane Wade’s Fly On The Wall Season 2 premieres this fall; Dude Perfect’s Squad Game Season 2 is set for 2027; and Julian Shapiro-Barnum’s Celebrity Substitute Season 3 debuts June 3.
