Questlove is launching a new digital talk show titled ‘The Next Move’ in partnership with North Road Company and Two One Five Entertainment [1].
The project signals a shift toward high-production, celebrity-driven content specifically designed for YouTube. By leveraging Questlove's existing social circles, the series aims to capture the casual intimacy of private gatherings for a global digital audience.
The show is based on Questlove’s personal celebrity game nights [1]. Connor Schell said the project is "a ‘game night’ digital series" [2]. The production is currently in development, though the partners have not yet announced a specific launch date [1, 2].
Two One Five Entertainment, the company founded by Questlove and Black Thought, is a primary collaborator on the series [1, 2, 3]. As part of the broader business arrangement, North Road has acquired a significant stake in Two One Five Entertainment [4].
Questlove said "The Next Move’ is a talk show based on Questlove’s personal celebrity game nights" [1]. The series will utilize the YouTube platform to distribute its content, moving away from traditional linear television models [2, 3].

This partnership reflects a broader trend of established entertainment figures moving toward digital-first distribution to bypass traditional network constraints. By integrating a corporate stake in Two One Five Entertainment with a specific content play on YouTube, North Road is betting on the scalability of personality-driven digital IP over legacy broadcast formats.
