Not that you'd overlook other work in the pipeline. Bourne Identity producer Doug Liman is crafting Impulse, a sci-fi flick about a girl who can teleport out of dangerous situations. Community's Dan Harmon, meanwhile, is writing a comedy series that stars Game Grumps personalities Dan Avidan and Arin "Egoraptor" Hanson in a quest for eSports glory.

As before, YouTube Red isn't trying to directly take on the likes of Amazon, Hulu or Netflix, despite the high-profile creators attached to its projects. Rather, it's aiming to create shows that are extensions of what YouTube fans already like -- it's hoping that you'll pay $10 per month for Red to see more elaborate content from the people you watch every day. It's far too soon to say if this will work, but it's apparent that YouTube isn't worried that it will miss out on the next House of Cards or Transparent.
