Netflix has entered the chat.

While YouTube has been the go-to for long-form video content since 2005, Netflix has been the go-to for streaming movies and TV shows for almost as long. But now, the streamer is inching toward YouTube’s territory by not only offering live podcast episodes but, as of next month, videos from the internet.

On Tuesday, Netflix announced that it’ll bring curated videos from top digital media brands to your TV screen as of August 3. From three-minute videos to fully 20-minute episodes, you’ll be able to peruse new content from food and travel to fashion and entertainment and from design to wellness. So far, the videos will come from the following brands:

  • BuzzFeed: A*Pop, BuzzFeed Celeb, Cocoa Butter, Pero Like, Tasty
  • Condé Nast: Allure, Architectural Digest (AD), Bon Appétit, Condé Nast Traveler, Epicurious, Glamour, House & Garden, Self, Teen Vogue, Vanity Fair, Vogue, Wired, The World of Interiors
  • Hearst Magazines: Cosmopolitan, Elle, Harper’s Bazaar, Seventeen, Women’s Health, Town & Country, Delish, Good Housekeeping
  • PMX, a subdivision of Penske Media: Billboard, Eater, Indiewire, Rolling Stone, The Hollywood Reporter, Variety
  • People Inc.: Entertainment Weekly, Food & Wine, InStyle, People, Travel + Leisure
  • Tastemade

There will be a mix of older videos and new, ongoing series, including AD’s “Open Door;” BuzzFeed’s “I Draw, You Cook;” Elle’s “Where is the Lie;” People’s “My Life in Pictures;” Tastemade’s “Struggle Meals;” and more.

So keep your eyes peeled, watching your favorite internet video series is about to be even easier on your TV!
