Tubi has introduced Mixtapes, a feature that lets viewers create, arrange and share personal collections of movies and TV episodes from its library. Daily Dead marked the launch with “Return of the Dead,” a horror collection focused on zombies and other stories about the dead coming back to life.
Tubi has launched Mixtapes, a feature that lets viewers create personal collections of movies and TV episodes, arrange titles in a chosen order and share the results through a link. The feature is available on mobile and web, and horror outlet Daily Dead introduced its own collection, “Return of the Dead,” built around zombie movies and other films about the dead returning to life.
Mixtapes can be organized around a mood, memory, era, person or interest, according to the launch announcement quoted by Daily Dead. Users can add a title and description, decide the order of the selected films and shows, and choose whether to publish and share a collection or keep it private. Tubi says viewers can make as many separate mixtapes as they want, rather than saving every title to a single running list.
The feature also includes an option to describe what a user wants and receive a suggested starting collection. That collection can then be edited, rearranged or rebuilt, according to the announcement. When a mixtape is shared, its link opens directly to the collection on Tubi, providing a route from someone else’s recommendations to the titles themselves.
Daily Dead’s “Return of the Dead” mixtape gathers films centered on zombies and other forms of the reanimated dead. The report names Zombie, Lucio Fulci’s 1979 film; The Return of the Living Dead; and Cemetery Man among its selections. Daily Dead says it plans to update the collection as titles are added or removed. The article does not list every film in the mixtape.
Mixtapes give Tubi viewers a way to turn recommendations into organized, shareable watchlists, instead of relying on a single saved list or suggestions scattered across social media. The format lets users express a point of view through both their selection and the order of titles, while a direct link makes the collection easier for others to open and browse.
That may help viewers find films in a service whose library can be difficult to search by personal taste alone. Daily Dead describes Tubi’s collection as containing more than 375,000 movies and TV episodes. Mixtapes do not change what is available to watch, but they create another way to surface titles through recommendations from people, publications or communities. Tubi’s announcement frames this social element as part of discovery; whether the feature changes viewing habits or improves discovery for users has not been established in the source material.

From Saved Titles to Curated Collections
Tubi already offered My List, where viewers could save films and shows to return to later. The distinction described in the launch announcement is that Mixtapes support multiple separate collections, each with its own title, description and sequence. They can also be shared by link, which the announcement identifies as a new capability for collections on Tubi.
The feature draws on the familiar idea of recommending entertainment personally: the launch announcement compares Mixtapes with people passing along a film or making a music mixtape for someone. Tubi also cites its own research, saying recommendations from friends or family rank among the top three factors influencing U.S. consumers to try a new streaming service, behind affordability and variety of content. The report supplies no survey sample size, date or methodology, so that finding should be understood as Tubi’s stated research claim rather than an independently verified measure.
““There’s something special about choosing what belongs together and who it’s for.””
— Mike Bidgoli, Tubi’s chief product and technology officer, in a statement quoted in Tubi’s announcement
Feature Reach and Use Remain Unreported
The source confirms availability on mobile and web, but does not specify supported devices, operating systems, geographic availability or whether access requires a Tubi account. It also does not explain how long shared mixtape links remain active, whether a collection can be shared beyond Tubi users, or how Tubi’s suggested starting collections are generated.
No user figures, adoption data or measured effect on viewing and title discovery are provided. The report also does not state whether every title in the Tubi catalog can be added to a mixtape or how collections respond when a film or episode leaves the service. Those details remain unconfirmed in the available material.
Tubi says viewers can use Mixtapes now on its mobile and web services to create collections, publish them or keep them private. Daily Dead plans to maintain its “Return of the Dead” selection by adding or removing titles over time, according to its report. The source does not identify a later launch date, product milestone or timetable for additional features.
For readers, the immediate next step is to browse or create a collection through Tubi and see which titles are available in their region. It remains to be seen whether Tubi will release further information about the feature’s reach or how viewers are using it.
