Rhett and Link bringing Good Mythical Morning to Netflix is the best news your family’s morning routine has had in years because it finally separates top-tier content from the bottom-tier algorithm.
TL;DR: Starting September 7, 2026, Rhett and Link are set to drop daily episodes of a new Good Mythical Morning series on Netflix. It will likely feature the same "Will It?" food challenges and goofy experiments your kids love, but moves them from the distraction-heavy world of YouTube to a finite, curated streaming environment. It’s a win for intentionality, trading the "infinite scroll" for a standalone show that has a clear beginning and end.
The biggest hurdle with Good Mythical Morning has never been the show itself—it’s the neighborhood it lives in. On YouTube, a ten-minute video of two guys eating a "Will It Taco?" toothpaste taco is great, but the sidebar is a minefield of "alpha" influencer rants and brain-rot slop designed to keep your kid clicking until lunch.
By moving a daily version of the show to Netflix, the "Mythical" experience becomes a destination rather than a gateway drug to the rest of the internet. You turn on the TV, watch the episode, and when it’s over, the show is actually over. This shift helps a kid build the habit of being a viewer rather than a "user" being run by a recommendation engine.
Rhett and Link have spent over a decade perfecting a specific brand of "Internet Dad" energy. They are goofy, high-status enough to be funny, but low-stakes enough that the show never feels intense. Based on the announcement, the Netflix deal looks like it will lean into the high-production segments that made them famous:
- The "Will It?" Series: Testing if non-food items (like laundry detergent or board games) can be turned into edible dishes. It’s gross, it’s funny, and it’s a masterclass in creative curiosity.
- International Darts Challenge: A geography lesson disguised as a game where they guess the origin of a dish by throwing darts at a map.
- The Friendship Dynamic: At its core, the show is about two guys who have been best friends since the first grade. That kind of long-term, healthy male friendship is rare in media and worth pointing out to your kids.
If your household is already into Mythical Kitchen or the main channel, this Netflix move is a seamless transition. If you’ve kept your kids off YouTube entirely, this is the first time you can safely let them into the "Mythical" world without opening the floodgates to the rest of the platform.
One of our core beliefs at Screenwise is that the goal is a kid who is their own algorithm. Moving GMM to Netflix is a perfect "training wheels" moment for that. Instead of the show washing over them as part of a three-hour YouTube binge, you can frame the Netflix debut as an intentional choice.
Ask them: "Why do you think they moved to Netflix?" or "Does the show feel different when you're watching it on the big screen instead of your phone?" It’s a small shift, but it highlights the difference between seeking out a specific creator and just letting a feed dictate your afternoon.
If your kids are counting down the days until September 7 and need something to fill the gap, look for shows that hit that same "curiosity + comedy" sweet spot. You want things that feel smart but don't take themselves too seriously.
- The Toys That Made Us: A Netflix deep dive into the history of things like LEGO and Transformers. It has that same fast-paced, snarky-but-kind energy.
- Is It Cake?: The ultimate "Will It?" spiritual successor. It’s pure, low-stakes "brain candy" that the whole family can actually enjoy.
- Brainchild: If you want the science-experiment vibe with a bit more educational weight, this is the move.

When the show drops, don't just set it and forget it. Watch an episode together and pull apart the "Mythicality" of it all.
- The "Business of You": Talk about why a giant like Netflix would want two guys from North Carolina. It’s a great way to start a conversation about how the media landscape is shifting from big studios to individual creators.
- Creative Failure: Rhett and Link fail at their games constantly. Point out how they handle losing or eating something disgusting with a laugh. It’s a subtle lesson in not taking yourself too seriously.
Q: Is the Good Mythical Morning Netflix show appropriate for all ages?
The show is generally targeted at the 8-14 age range. While it's mostly clean, they occasionally deal with "gross-out" humor or mild double entendres that might fly over a younger kid's head but land for a middle schooler.
Q: When does Good Mythical Morning start on Netflix?
The new daily series is set to debut on September 7, 2026. Episodes are expected to drop daily, mirroring the format of their long-running YouTube show.
Q: Will Good Mythical Morning still be on YouTube?
Yes, Rhett and Link have indicated that their main YouTube channel will continue to exist. The Netflix deal is an expansion, providing a different way to watch and likely featuring exclusive segments or higher-budget production values.
Q: Does the Netflix show have the same cast?
Expect to see Rhett and Link as the leads, with the "Mythical Crew" (the producers and writers who often appear on camera) likely making the jump as well. Part of the show's charm is the "work-family" vibe they've built over the years.
Moving Good Mythical Morning to Netflix is a win for parents who want to keep the high-quality entertainment but lose the low-quality platform habits. It’s an opportunity to turn a "digital default" into an intentional family viewing choice.
