Though these won't be available until early next year, here's what we know about the upcoming YouTube Red movies and series for now.
Lilly Singh, better known by her online alter-ego "Superwoman," will star in a feature-length movie "A Trip to Unicorn Island," which follows her along a multi-city tour route.
Singh, who is beloved by fans for her honest sense of humor and obsession with unicorns, has made quite a splash since joining YouTube in 2010. Since then, she's racked nearly seven million fans.
"The movie is about my journey as a creator and an entertainer," explains Singh. "I'll show that Unicorn Island isn't as easy as it looks from stage but you can absolutely get there."
PewDiePie, AKA Felix Kjellberg currently holds the record for having the most YouTube subscribers in the world. His book "This Book Loves You" came out earlier this year, and now, the Swedish star will be starring in his own YouTube series.
Each week, as the title suggests, "Scare PewDiePie," will place Kjellberg in terrifying real-life situations in an attempt to, you guessed it, scare him.
"We just wrapped shooting but I still feel unsure every day if I'm safe or not from another scare," Kjellberg explained.
The show will be produced by people who definitely know a thing or two about scaring, the creator and executive producers of "The Walking Dead."
Best known for his YouTube Channel "The Game Theorists," MatPat has made a name for himself online in the world of video games.
"We cover it all from diving into the lore of FNAF, researching the tech of Halo, or picking apart the dark secrets of the Mario universe," he explains in his channel description.
His show, "360 Project" will offer a behind-the-scenes look at the science behind top games, placing real-life gamers in the same scenarios their digital characters face.
As an added bonus, the show will offer a "360 VR experience."

YouTubers will have to use their gaming skills to fight to survive in the zombie-filled world which YouTube promises will be "frighteningly realistic."
There's not a ton of information available about College Humor's currently untitled project for YouTube Red, but the show will take a darkly funny look at internet culture.
If it's anything like some of College Humor's top YouTube videos, "The Six Girls You'll Date In College" and a "Gangnam Style" parody called "Mitt Romney Style," the new show is sure to make you laugh.

Toby Turner's new show "I Am Tobuscus" will turn the camera on himself and take a look at what it's like to be an internet celebrity in 2015.
While the show will be fictional, Turner himself has millions of followers across several channels, so he certainly knows and thing or two about YouTube fame.
After promising to get married at age 30 if they're both still single, the two stars of "Single by 30" find themselves in exactly that position nearly ten years later.
Produced by New Form Digital and Wong Fu Productions, "Glee" fans will recognize the show's leading man, Harry Shum, Jr., who played dancer-extraordinnare Mike Chang on the Fox show. He's joined by singer-songwriter Kina Grannis.
Joey Graceffa's new show will bring together other YouTube stars for a murder mystery show where they'll be lucky to make it out alive.
