Make some room, Netflix, Hulu, Amazon and Vimeo. There’s a new SVOD coming to town and it has a familiar name.

YouTube has formally introduced YouTube Red, a new subscription-service unveiled at a company event Oct. 21 at the YouTube Spaces L.A.

The new service, set to roll out Oct. 28 in the U.S., will be ad-free and offered at $9.99 a month. It will also let viewers save videos to watch offline.

“Membership extends across devices and anywhere [people] sign into YouTube, including our recently launched Gaming app and a brand new YouTube Music app we’re announcing today that will be available soon,” the company said in a blog post.

In 2016, the SVOD service is expected to give subscribers access to new, original shows and movies from some of YouTube’s biggest creators, the blog states. Among the anticipated originals is Scare PewDiePie (pictured), a reality-adventure series from the creator and executive producers of The Walking Dead at Skybound Entertainment and Maker Studios. Fine Brothers Entertainment and Mandeville Films will also contribute a scripted comedy, Sing it!, while Rooster Teeth and Fullscreen Films have created Lazer Team, a feature-length action comedy. Click here for an early list of confirmed content and creators.

Viewers in the U.S. can try YouTube Red for free with a one-month trial.

It’s not known yet exactly how YouTube’s subscription service will operate, but it has been reported by several sources, including the Wall Street Journal, creators will receive a 55/45 split of revenue from that model, the same as YouTube’s ad-revenue model.

Peter Csathy, CEO of Manatt Digital Media, told StreamDaily in an interview that not all creators are happy with the proposed pay model. According to Csathy, who interviewed several creators under the condition of anonymity as part of blog post, creators are feeling the pressure to make their content available under the paid model, whether they want to or not.

“Some of the creators I spoke to felt it was kind of a ‘take it or leave it’ type of thing,” said Csathy, who writes frequently on digital media, SVOD and OTT.

Csathy added it’s unclear whether YouTube users will buy into the service, particularly those in the youngest demographics.

“A lot of these users are kids (and) they don’t have credit cards,” he said. “They’re trained to watch YouTube for free, as they have over the years, and they may continue to do so.”

Adding yet another subscription service to peoples’ lives may also prove too much to ask from the streaming public.

“There’s only so much capacity for individual consumers,” said Csathy. “It really comes down to what excites you as a consumer… short-form videos do well on mobile, but are they ready for the living room?”

Chris Ciaccia, tech editor at The Street who often covers the SVOD market, said the rise of ad-blocking technology may play a part in Google’s motivation to create a paid subscription service.

“Google’s model has always been about driving ad revenue one way or another,” Ciaccia told StreamDaily. “We all know ad businesses have been under pressure lately, especially in the past few months, because of ad-blocking apps.”

Ciaccia said the move to subscription could also provide Google with an opportunity to experiment with a new model that may help provide an alternative to users who don’t like ads.

“I think the fact that they’re tweaking the ad model says that they’re unsure of what the best model is for the future. But by tweaking and trying something new, they’re trying to appeal to a broader audience all at once.”

Google executive Sridhar Ramaswamy reportedly called for a “swift industry response” to ad-blocking at the Wall Street Journal‘s WSJD Live conference Oct. 20.
