Roku has partnered with actor, writer and producer, Alan Chikin Chow, to bring his popular YouTube series Alan’s Universe to The Roku Channel, marking the first time that the creator’s content will be available outside of YouTube.

Alan’s Universe is a high school anthology series about love, friendships, and heart. The series follows Alan and his classmates, who face off against bullies and villains, emerging victorious through the power of love. Alan’s Universe has over 80 million subscribers on YouTube and boasts over 50 billion overall channel views.

“There is no question that creator-produced content like Alan’s Universe is just as popular as traditional television series and movies, especially among younger audiences, who are increasingly streaming AVoD,” commented Jennifer Vaux, Vice President, Content Acquisition & Programming, Roku Media. “We’re committed to curating a streaming experience that our millions of viewers want to watch, and we look forward to working with Alan’s team to further build upon his incredible reach.”

The series is available immediately on The Roku Channel in the UK, the US, Canada and Mexico.

“We are thrilled to bring our universe to new platforms, expanding our reach to an even wider audience,” added Chow. “This venture with Roku marks an exciting step forward in the new era of creator-driven scripted content, and we’re proud to be at the forefront of this evolution — where bold storytelling and digital innovation redefine what’s possible in entertainment.”
