Kevin Langue, the YouTube comedy creator who boasts that he’s “the world’s best guesser,” is the latest internet content creator to sign a deal with Netflix.
“The Kevin Langue Show” is also distributed as an audio podcast on platforms including Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
In a statement, Langue said: “The fans have been the driving force behind this opportunity and to see what we’ve built now also on Netflix is incredibly special. I’m just so excited to continue bringing the energy of our shows to even more people around the world!”
Over the past year, Netflix has signed deals with big-name YouTubers including Mark Rober and Alan Chikin Chow for original shows. YouTube has been unhappy about Netflix’s move to ink deals with YouTube-native creators, and is now offering to fund creators’ video projects if they agree to exclusive windows, as Bloomberg initially reported.
Langue is repped at 3 Arts Entertainment and WME. “The Kevin Langue Show” is executive produced by Langue and Zane Helberg alongside associate producer Katherine Tompkins.
This summer, Langue launched an 18-city live tour that sold over 30,000 tickets. The tour kicked off in Los Angeles as part of the Netflix Is a Joke Fest, with each stop featuring a different guessing game created for each market.
