It has since gone on to rack up millions of video views and gained more than 180 thousand followers across social media platforms. Mack and his collaborators create new seven-minute episodes of "The Weeklings" on YouTube every month, as well as daily content for the show's TikTok and Instagram followers. It's not only kids online who are noticing the innovative talent and effort that Mack puts into "The Weeklings."
