The agency plans to grow Royalty&#8217;s work in film and television while developing original ideas and franchise opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Royalty built his audience on YouTube&#8217;s &#8220;SCP&#8221; horror trend, where creators adapt the SCP Foundation&#8217;s shared fictional lore about a secretive group containing dangerous anomalies into short films. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He&#8217;s become one of the format&#8217;s most-watched directors, releasing entries like <em>SCP: First Contact<\/em>, <em>SCP: Dollhouse<\/em>, and <em>SCP: Overlord<\/em>. Since launching his channel in 2012, he has drawn more than 779,000 subscribers and nearly 70 million lifetime views. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The signing continues a busy stretch for WME&#8217;s push into online talent. In July, the agency signed Love Island USA season 8 winner <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/news\/trinity-tatum-signs-with-wme-for-representation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Trinity Tatum<\/a>, aiming to grow her presence in fashion, TV, digital content, and brand deals, and also signed SNL cast member <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/news\/sarah-sherman-signs-with-wme-for-representation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sarah Sherman<\/a> as she expands into film and TV. In May, WME signed Argentine YouTuber <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/news\/alejo-igoa-signs-with-wme-for-representation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Alejo Igoa<\/a>, who has more than 120 million subscribers, to handle his touring, brand, and licensing business worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The strategy is straightforward: creators with tens of millions of built-in views are cheaper to develop than stars built from scratch, and agencies want a cut before a rival signs them first. For Royalty, that could mean scaling his SCP universe into a bigger franchise or building something new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Takeaways<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This one&#8217;s less about a single creator and more about a pattern: WME keeps grabbing digital-native talent before Hollywood &#8220;discovers&#8221; them the traditional way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Royalty joins a growing list of creators the agency has signed this year across wildly different lanes (reality TV, sketch comedy, and now horror shorts), which suggests WME is betting on internet-built audiences as a shortcut to franchise IP, not just a nice-to-have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Does an SCP short-film universe have real franchise legs in film\/TV, or does it work best staying scrappy and internet-native? Is WME buying access to Royalty&#8217;s <em>audience<\/em>, his <em>storytelling voice<\/em>, or both, and does that change what &#8220;success&#8221; looks like for this deal?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WME has signed Evan Royalty, the online name of filmmaker Evan Muir, for representation, with agents Kelly Cannon and Marco Alvarez leading the deal.
