Mark Cuban’s Exec-Produced YouTube Series ‘How to Change the World’ to Premiere in September

Mark Cuban is an executive producer on a new YouTube series, “How to Change the World,” a 10-episode project from World Within Studios that is set to premiere on the platform in September, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The series is designed to highlight people building solutions in areas where markets, communities, and institutions intersect, with Cuban’s involvement reflecting the growing presence of large tech and media figures in long-form digital documentary programming.

World Within Studios is producing the series in partnership with Religion of Sports, a collaboration that The Hollywood Reporter said will shape the show’s approach to storytelling and audience. While the series will run as a documentary-style program, it is also positioned as a conversation with leading figures who are seen as experts on philanthropy, business-led problem solving, and community impact.

The Hollywood Reporter reported that the first-season lineup will include a range of guest voices, including Howard Schultz, who previously served as CEO of Starbucks. Schultz’s participation is noted in the report as part of the series’ effort to bring a high-profile business background into discussions focused on social entrepreneurship and practical change.

The show is being presented as an exclusive project, with the outlet describing it as part of a broader trend of major entertainment and business brands producing content directly for digital platforms rather than traditional broadcast or cable networks. YouTube’s role as the premiere destination suggests the program is being engineered for audience discovery and subscription-free viewing, depending on how viewers access the series on the platform.

In addition to its guest lineup, “How to Change the World” is being framed by The Hollywood Reporter as a series that will spotlight social entrepreneurs rather than only established institutions. The report indicates the format will give prominence to practitioners who pursue mission-driven work, with the executive production under Cuban intended to support production scale and the recruitment of recognizable voices.

The next step for the project will be the September premiere on YouTube, when episode-by-episode releases will determine how the series is packaged for viewers and how quickly it reaches audiences through platform recommendations and promotional campaigns. The Hollywood Reporter’s report did not specify episode lengths or release schedule details beyond the September timeframe.

No additional distribution partners, production credits beyond World Within Studios, or formal platform terms were detailed in the report. Interested viewers will have to wait for the release to confirm the full roster of featured participants and the specific subjects covered across the 10 episodes.
