Mark Rober will bring his scientific talents to Netflix with two upcoming projects. Rober is a former NASA engineer who parlayed his skills into an entertaining and educational YouTube career. In past years, we've seen him develop not just one, but two stinky glitter bombs to fend off porch package thieves, as well as leading work on a Guinness World Record-holding robot called the Dominator.

According to an announcement from Netflix, Rober "will bring some of his most beloved, ambitious, and informative experiments" to the streaming platform later this year. Then in 2026, he'll also host a competition series aimed at kids and family viewers. Rober's CrunchLabs business and Kimmelot, late night host Jimmy Kimmel's production company, will be producing.

Netflix has been adding several YouTube creators to its content lineup, with a particular angle toward family-friendly science programs. Earlier this year, it brought some content from Rachel Accurso's Ms. Rachel channel, with educational topics for very young children, to the platform.
