YouTube star Alan Melikdjanian, the creator behind the popular channel “Captain Disillusion,” has set a first-look deal with indie streaming service Nebula. Additionally, Melikdjanian’s existing back catalog will now be available for streaming on Nebula.

Per Nebula, Melikdjanian’s first-look deal grants Nebula Studios, the production arm of the creator-built media company, the opportunity to bring premium long-form ideas to the studio for development and partnership. Variety has learned one of the first projects in development under the deal is a scripted sci-fi series.
