In June 2012, Forbes suggested that "if successful, it could help blaze a trail for the future of network television."[5] In 2014, Geek & Sundry was acquired by Legendary Entertainment.[6] The company is primarily known for their launch of the D&D show Critical Role, which aired on their channels from 2015–19.

Geek & Sundry produced many shows exclusively for Legendary's streaming service, Alpha, from its launch in 2017. In early 2019, Critical Role Productions separated from Legendary, as well as Geek & Sundry, to distribute their content independently. In the wake of their departure, Alpha was shut down and Geek & Sundry went into decline.[7] The company has been largely inactive since late 2019, and the YouTube channel is now only used to re-release existing content.[8][9]
