James, a bubble-shaped boy, is the protagonist of Oddballs. His observations on life inspire his comedic rants at minor irritations and take them to laughably absurd levels.

Rallison also talked about how the COVID-19 outbreak forced the production team of the upcoming Netflix series to work fully remotely.

Along with the news, Rallison teased the release of some first-look footage for the new show during upcoming appearances at conventions.

YouTube has been worked hard to support Rallison in keeping a consistent presence on his well-liked YouTube channel as he has been preparing his new streaming show.

After a weak first quarter, this new partnership between Netflix and well-known internet talent could be just what the streaming giant needs to increase its subscriber base.
