Over the last month, Hollywood has been buzzing about the triple-whammy theatrical success of Obsession, Backrooms and The Amazing Digital Circus: The Last Act (pictured), as the industry at large faces what the kids biz has known for a long time: if you want to capture young audiences, you can’t ignore YouTube.

For our upcoming Fall 2026 magazine issue hitting the street at MIPCOM and MIP Junior, we want to hear about the cool projects you’re working on with online creators or other digital-first talent. We’re looking for projects that are currently in development that have strong potential to get picked up by distributors and broadcasters. We’ll want to hear about the concept and your funding/partnering model – how you connected with the creator and what they’re bringing to the table. 

If you have a project that fits the description and you want to be considered for inclusion in the upcoming Creator Edition of Cool New Shows, fill out this online form, and we’ll follow up if your show is chosen as a contender for the feature.

If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to editor Ryan Somers (rsomers@brunico.com).
