After more than a year, popular British YouTube personality Tom Scott has reappeared on his primary channel, revealing grand ambitions for its future following his announcement of retiring from producing weekly content.
In January 2024, after consistently posting a YouTube video each week for an impressive decade, Tom Scott shared the heart-wrenching news that he would be taking a break from his regular uploads.
Over the past year-and-a-half, instead of abandoning content creation completely, Scott has been sharing hosting duties on podcasts such as Lateral and The Technical Difficulties.
Additionally, he’s been circulating a weekly newsletter showcasing “internet gems” – however, he aims for something more substantial.
Tom Scott says it’s “time to come home” with new YouTube series
On the 11th of June, 2025, Scott resurfaced on his primary channel with a surprise video, appealing to his fans for assistance in his upcoming ventures.
As a keen enthusiast, I, too, have always been drawn towards unraveling mysteries that have puzzled us all at one point or another. However, my current fascination lies in delving deeper into the rich tapestry of British history. As a YouTuber, I am inviting you to join me on this journey by sharing your recommendations for intriguing sites and aspects of the UK that I can showcase through engaging videos. Let’s unearth the stories that make our shared history come alive!
In addition, Scott invited “intriguing personalities” residing nearby, intending to interact and record interviews featuring fascinating accounts of their lives and professions.
He made sure to mention, however, that he’s not sure his upcoming content will even have legs.
He acknowledged that it might take some time, or perhaps it may never occur at all. There’s a chance that if I attempt it, things could go awry. To be honest, I’m unsure about the outcome, and that uncertainty is a tad unsettling.
It’s somewhat unsettling to envision something that’s intentionally minimal at this point and still far from becoming reality, as it may never materialize.
Scott has announced the tentative name of his upcoming series, ‘A Journey Through England,’ set to premiere around 2026, though the exact YouTube platform remains undisclosed. In a week, his call for submissions will be taken down.
Among several YouTube personalities, Tom Scott and MatPat (known for Game Theory) are among those who decided to step away from their channels over the past year, marking significant shifts in their respective creative journeys spanning approximately 15 years for MatPat.
