YouTube Originals is only in its infancy but the network has already got an impressive list of documentaries all lined up for this autumn.
That’s right, from a biopic all about the singer Anne-Marie and how she has coped in the industry following the coronavirus pandemic, to an inside look at the life of the internet sensation Behzinga.
The streaming giant has made sure all angles are covered as we go into the winter months.
So it’s time to batten down the hatches, drag your duvet to the couch, and tune into the video-sharing site.
Together We Rise: The Uncompromised story of GRM Daily – September 28
The four-part docu-series will take a look at the life of the game-changing YouTube channel GRM Daily and its founder Posty – who aims to give the upcoming generation a platform for success.
Going inside Posty’s experiences with both Black British business and culture, the show takes you on his journey, seeing the star of the show stand up in the face of adversity and succeed for decades to come.
Not only that, but Together We Rise has a stellar cast, featuring the likes of Stormzy, Skepta, Aitch, Ms Banks, Zane Lowe and Dizzee Rascal.
Posty said of the project: ‘The doc showcases the passion and hard work that has been collectively put into UK rap music to help build it to being at the forefront of British music, it’s a story filled with inspiration and hope for the next generation.’
It’s not one to be missed.
How to Be: Behzinga – October 5
How To Be will be launching on the streaming platform in three parts, and will be exploring the man behind the YouTube star Behzinga, known as Ethan Payne.
When starting out in his career the internet personality was an overweight gamer, but has soon turned his life around, becoming an endurance athlete with the goal of running the London Marathon.
He said: ‘My fans and Sidemen fans know a lot about me but now the lot is laid out – we’ve been through it all.
‘Pushing myself to the limits doing some epic and brutal challenges has opened me up like never before and taken me places I didn’t think possible…. physically and mentally.
‘I’ve experienced a lot of shit in my life, been disruptive, wild and had some dark moments, but I’m living life to the max now, I’m in a happier place and doing this docu-series has been a big part of that.’
How to Be: Anne-Marie – Coming soon
Anne-Marie has been working hard on the new series ever since the coronavirus pandemic turned both her world and the music industry completely upside down.
But it has helped the star learn ‘how to be’ in the moment and it seems we might be able to learn a lot from the 2002 hitmaker.
‘I let YouTube into my life over the past few months and I can’t wait for you to see the finished film,’ she explained.
‘I always try to be open and honest with my fans and what really excites me about this collaboration is that it’s an unfiltered look into my life; from writing and recording to downtime with my friends and family.
Doing what I do can be pretty fast-paced, so to have a bit more time during the lockdown to think, digest and reflect on some of my favourite moments from career to date has been both emotional and cathartic.’
