Los Angeles, August 23 – Acclaimed YouTuber and former NASA engineer Mark Rober has officially inked a deal with Netflix, marking another major leap in his unique journey from rocket science to online fame to now mainstream entertainment.

At 45, Rober is already a household name in the world of DIY gadgets, science communication, and fun educational content. Known for building squirrel obstacle courses, glitter bomb traps, and engineering marvels that blend fun with functionality, Rober has amassed millions of followers on YouTube and social media.

The deal with Netflix aims to leverage Rober’s inventive skills and passion for science education to create a show targeted at young audiences. His upcoming series will blend hands-on engineering with interactive storytelling, similar to the engaging tone seen on his popular YouTube channel.

“We are highly surprised with the creativity of Mark and his skilled work,” said Jimmy Kimmel during a recent segment on Jimmy Kimmel Live. “He’s introduced to Netflix as a smart and creative inventor, and his inclusion is a big win for the platform.”

This marks a significant trend among streaming giants like Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Disney+—where platforms are increasingly recognizing the educational and inspirational value of creators like Rober, who bridge the gap between science and entertainment.

Jo Redferns, a media consultant who spoke to the BBC, said, “These YouTubers are not overnight sensations but are building a new trend in science and innovation. Mark Rober represents the modern inventor—engaging, creative, and incredibly educational.”

Rober, a University of Southern California alumnus with dual degrees in mechanical engineering, spent 9 years at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) before transitioning into full-time content creation. His mission has remained consistent: to make science fun, accessible, and inspiring for all—especially the younger generation.

Rober’s new Netflix show is expected to launch sometime in 2026 and is being positioned alongside other creative endeavors, such as a U.S. version of The Sidemen and new original content by Ms Rachel. Meanwhile, shows like Cocomelon may see shifts to other platforms, signaling a broader transformation in streaming content strategies.

As Rober steps into the Netflix spotlight, his fans—and budding young inventors—are eagerly waiting to see what fascinating ideas he brings to the screen next.
