Rober and Scott Lewers, CrunchLabs&#8217; chief content officer, will executive produce the new show alongside Kimmel and Kimmelot\u2019s president, Scott Lonker.<\/p>\n<p>Rober is also bringing some of his experiments to Netflix later this year. Rober\u2019s following totals more than 76 million across YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and more.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI love turning learning into a game, basically hiding the vegetables in the dessert, and now it\u2019s a full-on competition game show!\u201d says Rober. \u201cWhen you\u2019re having fun, you\u2019re learning without even realizing it. And teaming up with Netflix and Jimmy Kimmel to make this happen? This is gonna be epic!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kimmel added: \u201cMy kids love Mark Rober, and so do their parents. Mark\u2019s videos are so clever and inventive, it\u2019s easy to forget that they\u2019re educational, too. We can\u2019t wait to introduce one of the best and brightest creators to Netflix.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Mark Rober\u2019s unique approach to STEM learning inspires all ages\u2014his storytelling is infectious,&#8221; said John Derderian, VP for series, animation, kids and family at Netflix. &#8220;When my son and daughter spot a new Build Box at our doorstep, we know that an amazing adventure awaits! Collaborating with CrunchLabs and Kimmel on a competition series for kids is going to be next level and sure to earn me father of the year.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Social media star and former NASA engineer Mark Rober is headed to Netflix with a new kids and family competition series, slated for 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":290,"featured_media":29383,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[11109],"class_list":["post-30292","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-mark-rober","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Netflix Slates Kids &amp; Family Competition with Mark Rober - TVKIDS<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/netflix-slates-kids-family-competition-with-mark-rober-2\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Netflix Slates Kids &amp; Family Competition with Mark Rober - TVKIDS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Social media star and former NASA engineer Mark Rober is headed to Netflix with a new kids and family competition series, slated for 2026.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/netflix-slates-kids-family-competition-with-mark-rober-2\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVKIDS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2025-08-18T16:37:09+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2025-08-19T14:35:17+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2025\/03\/Netflix-Logo-124.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"640\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"394\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Mansha Daswani\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Mansha Daswani\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/netflix-slates-kids-family-competition-with-mark-rober-2\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/netflix-slates-kids-family-competition-with-mark-rober-2\/\",\"name\":\"Netflix Slates Kids & Family Competition with Mark Rober - TVKIDS\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2025-08-18T16:37:09+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2025-08-19T14:35:17+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#\/schema\/person\/83da304c8bad8bfdb3edd7eb47cfe5ad\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/netflix-slates-kids-family-competition-with-mark-rober-2\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/netflix-slates-kids-family-competition-with-mark-rober-2\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/netflix-slates-kids-family-competition-with-mark-rober-2\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Netflix Slates Kids &#038; Family Competition with Mark Rober\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/\",\"name\":\"TVKIDS\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#\/schema\/person\/83da304c8bad8bfdb3edd7eb47cfe5ad\",\"name\":\"Mansha Daswani\",\"description\":\"Mansha Daswani is the editor-in-chief and associate publisher of World Screen.
