ThatMob, Creator of Viral Horror Series Verity, Signs With CAA
The creator behind the viral horror series Verity has signed with CAA, the talent agency also known as Creative Artists Agency, Variety reported on 11 November 2026.
ThatMob makes Verity, a set of cinematic horror stories built with Minecraft, the block-building video game. The stories are told through short online videos. Across four official Verity videos, the work has drawn more than 81 million views, according to Variety.
The audience has spread quickly. Variety reports that Verity built an international following within a few months, with particular strength in the United States and Asia, and most notably in China.
The channel that carries the work is large in its own right. ThatMob has nearly 3 million YouTube subscribers, roughly 1 million TikTok followers and more than 1.3 million followers on Bilibili, the Chinese video platform.
At the centre of Verity is an AI companion. Its wish for friendship slides into obsession. The character first appears as a floating yellow sphere with a grinning smile, and it can transform into a monster. Variety describes the story as a horror universe built from those few simple images.
CAA said in its announcement that Verity is an original horror universe with the potential to move beyond its digital origins and grow into a major entertainment franchise. A franchise, in this sense, means a property that can spread into films, television, games and merchandise. The agency did not give details of any deal.
ThatMob is also working on a new original horror series called Mikey's Magical Mayhem. According to Variety, the project aims to introduce a new universe, new original characters and a fresh way of telling a story. It is still in development, which means no broadcast date or platform has been reported.
For viewers who found Verity through a phone screen, the signing points to a practical next step. Creators who start on video apps often move toward agents when they want help with bigger projects, such as longer shows or licensing deals with other companies. Whether that happens with Verity or Mikey's Magical Mayhem has not been announced.
