For the first time, the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences is splitting kids’ programming into its own show. The inaugural Children’s and Family Emmys will take place across two days in December, and YouTube will be rooting for the two nominated shows it distributed.
One of those YouTube Originals is In Space with Markiplier. The two-part series, which employed a choose-your-own-adventure format, arrived on YouTube Kids in April. Its titular star, whose real name is Mark Fischbach, negotiated a sequence of interstellar perils with the help of his trusty crew (i.e. viewers like you).
In Space‘s conceit earned it a nomination in the Outstanding Interactive Media category at the Children’s and Family Emmys. The show’s star pointed out the nod on Twitter.
