Go90, a mobile video service from Verizon, is hoping to build hype for its launch through an enticing programming slate. After previously announcing deals with networks like Machinima and Endemol Beyond, Go90 has now revealed a pact with production company New Form Digital that will bring six new series to the upcoming service.

New Form, which launched in 2014, is best known for co-developing projects with YouTube stars; its first two series, Pj Liguori's Oscar’s Hotel for Fantastical Creatures and Sawyer Hartman's The Parallax Theory, both premiered on Vimeo On Demand in September.

The young studio co-founded by Ron Howard, Brian Grazer, and Discovery Communications has brought The Parallax Theory, a sci-fi thriller helmed by YouTube star Sawyer Hartman, to the creator-friendly Vimeo On Demand selling platform.

While Oscar’s Hotel is a whimsical romp through the colorful halls of its titular establishment, The Parallax Theory is a moody sci-fi thriller centered on a scientist who must warn the world of impending calamity. The first episode is now available for purchase on Vimeo On Demand, where interested viewers can also watch the show’s trailer:
