Eugene Lee Yang, founding member of YouTube sensations ‘Try Guys,’ is leaving the group after the next season of their content. On top of that, the Try Guys are launching a new streaming service and have welcomed several new members of the cast.
“Part of this is bittersweet. We’re gonna miss working with Eugene. He has been one of the true collaborators of both of our lives. But we’ve had a long time to process this,” said Zach. “So we’re very excited for him, very excited for us, and just feeling very energized by this whole moment.”
Keith added that Eugene leaving is “sort of necessary” for them to keep moving forward. He said: “Things change. THE TRY GUYS ’ original cast already came to an end once, But now it’s sort of getting a better finite ending.”
They revealed during aninterview with Colin and Samirthat the drama helped improve the company, saying it helped them focus less on short-term goals and “cultivate” the company.

Fans quickly became worried that the group was leaving YouTube entirely, but they made it clearin an Instagram postthat this wasn’t the case.
“We’re not going anywhere! All the shows you’re used to will still be free and we’ll be posting some new episodes of our new shows too,” it reads.
Alongside the news, Keith and Zach also revealed that they’ve added nine new members to the overall cast. We’ll have to wait to see what kind of content they provide across both platforms, but it appears fans are excited overall.
