At its annual YouTube Features marketing showcase in Toronto, YouTube Canada unveiled a slate of new Canadian creator shows — including a run of Kareem Rahma‘s popular interview show “SubwayTakes” in the Great White North.
Set to premiere in 2027, “SubwayTakes Toronto” will see Rahma take the unfiltered, long-form interview series to the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) subway system. Each episode will feature “iconic Canadian guests” and bring viewers “viewer directly in the middle of the authentic, unscripted mayhem found inside Canada’s most recognizable subway car,” according to YouTube Canada.
Alongside “SubwayTakes Toronto,” the YouTube Canada slate of upcoming creator programming includes a new video podcast from Olympic gold medal figure skater Tessa Virtue; a trends-focused food show from chef and restaurateur Susur Lee and his son Jet Bent-Lee; and a reality series from beloved Canadian comedian Jeenie Weenie.
These follow the slate of creator-led shows announced at 2026 YouTube Brandcast earlier this year, including Rahma’s “Keep the Meter Running” and programs from Alex Cooper and Trevor Noah.
“YouTube creators are making the must-see programming that is shaping culture and redefining entertainment,” said Nicole Bell, head of YouTube Canada. “With this new slate, we’re proud to invest in homegrown creative entrepreneurs, giving Canada’s most compelling storytellers the opportunity to bring their biggest ideas to life and connect directly with the audiences who love them.”
Here’s a rundown of the new creator shows announced Thursday coming exclusively to YouTube:
