The Besties have been crushing it on YouTube with 2.98 million subscribers. Their show, which features sleepover-style excitement and spooky stories suitable for kids, is now available on Hulu. And at Vidcon 2026, Mackenzie Turner and Lael Hansen announced a partnership with Amazon Fire that’ll put them on that streaming platform by the end of summer.

Williams, Global Head of Partnerships at Amazon’s Fire TV Channels Dan Green, and NorthStar Media Group producer Ivana Kirkbride, who moderated the session.
