In 2021, Grian launched the Life Series, a collaborative Minecraft series featuring 13 other YouTubers. The first season, titled 3rd Life, premiered in April of that year. Grian described the series as "experimental hardcore with a twist." The success of 3rd Life led to the creation of multiple following seasons. [10]
