EightState Studios has confirmed that "The Spell Off Live!" will premiere on YouTube on 11 August, marking the debut original series from the entertainment studio founded by entrepreneur Adam Wexler. The creator-driven competition format brings together celebrities, comedians, athletes and digital creators to compete in high-pressure spelling challenges, with winners directing charitable donations to educational non-profits of their choice.

The show is hosted and executive produced by DC Young Fly, known for "Wild 'N Out", with content creator Funny Marco serving as remote host, running additional street-based spelling challenges and behind-the-scenes content in Atlanta. It airs at 10pm ET and is produced in partnership with Deviants Media, with Ivan Dudynsky and showrunner Jayson Belt also serving as executive producers and directors.
