π The Backstory
Alan Chikin Chow is one of the biggest creators on YouTube. He built a huge audience with short-form content and then moved into longer scripted series. Alan's Universe became a hit with young viewers. Netflix has been trying to bring popular online creators onto its platform to reach Gen Z audiences. This is not Chow's first deal with Netflix. In January, it was announced he is working on a K-Pop scripted series with Hybe America. The move shows how much the line between YouTube and traditional TV has blurred.
