Good Mythical Morning Hits Netflix and This Mythical Beast Has Feelings

Big news for Mythical Beasts everywhere. Good Mythical Morning is coming to Netflix starting September 7, and Frank breaks down what this means for the show, the fandom, and the future of creator content on streaming. GMM is one of three Mythical Entertainment shows making the jump, alongside Last Meals and Mythical Kitchen, with new episodes releasing day-and-date on both Netflix and YouTube.

As a longtime fan who starts every morning with GMM, Frank shares an honest mix of excitement and concern. On the worry side: Rhett and Link know the YouTube algorithm better than almost anyone, but Netflix brings a whole new distribution model with its own incentives, and Good Mythical More staying YouTube-exclusive raises questions about how content gets divided. On the positive side: this could finally push GMM into the Emmy conversation alongside Dropout shows like Game Changer, it brings a new funding stream for a company that reinvests in itself, and it hands Netflix its first-ever daily show.
