number 5 it’s a YouTube premium original
by now you’re surely familiar with the
concept of a Netflix Hulu or amazon
original meet the YouTube equivalent to
be fair this is not the video sharing
sites first foray into original
long-form scripted content but origin
feels like the company’s first big push
after rebranding their paid subscription
service YouTube red as YouTube premium
in the lead up to their global rollout
origin premieres on November 14th 2018
and with a YouTube premium subscription
will be accessible to viewers in dozens
of countries including Canada the US
Brazil the UK Mexico and South Korea the
trailer debuted at comic-con where it
got a very warm reception so expect
people to tune in number four it’s a
sci-fi thriller we are so not currently
in the process of its colonization I
can’t go to another planet who don’t
have a choice so now that you’re all
caught up on YouTube’s big streaming
plans let’s talk about the series itself
origin promises a tense drama with
horror elements set in space the story
follows a group of individuals
attempting to escape their respective
pasts by traveling to another planet
where they intend to start a new life as
part of a colony of course in space
things rarely go as planned and our cast
awakens to find they’ve seemingly been
abandoned by the crew and their fellow
passengers Trust is in short supply and
things quickly take a turn for the worst
it’ll be interesting to see how the show
balances human conflict with the
extra-terrestrial challenges something
came onboard it started killing the
passengers
number three it stars tom felton and
natalia tena you may have noticed a
couple of familiar faces from the
trailers and your eyes do not deceive
you
YouTube managed to nab two fan favorites
from Warner Brothers massively
successful Harry Potter film franchise
tom Felton and natalia tena Felton is
best known for his iconic role as Draco
Malfoy and has since gone on to perform
and critically acclaimed dramas like a
United Kingdom belle and Meghan levy
Italia tena played the lovable or talks
before joining the cast of Game of
Thrones as OSHA the wildling look at me
the presence of these two talented
actors certainly inspires confidence
especially since Belton seems to be
playing an antagonist number two it’s
directed by Paul WS Anderson Anderson
has made his career in the sci-fi genre
his big break came when he directed the
since then he’s held films like alien
vs. predator death race and the Resident
Evil franchise though his films rarely
do well with critics he’s beloved in
sci-fi circles the thing that makes his
involvement with origin particularly
exciting is a little film he made in
1997 event horizon it flopped at the box
office and was critically panned but
it’s since become a cherished cult
classic of the sci-fi horror genre and
from the looks of the trailer Anderson
is bringing that expertise to origin
number one its youtube premiums first
scripted series from the UK what the
hell happened on the ship like we said
this is far from YouTube’s first
scripted offering be that as it may
origin is a notable first and that it
sees the video streaming site pairing up
with left bank pictures the production
company behind Netflix is hit series the
crown have to explain that one to me
with the producers of not just the crown
on board but also producers from lost
this spaceship is being steered by very
competent and experienced hands from the
production value of the trailers you can
see that YouTube is clearly putting
serious money into the series and we
do you agree with our picks check out
