The character Fred grew so fast that in April 2008 he had his own channel on which he started a video series. In one year, in April 2009, the Fred YouTube channel broke records by becoming the first YouTube channel to attract over one million subscribers, a number that has grown to over 2.7 million subscribers to date. JKL Productions also earned a total of $14,000 from the Fred videos that year, before Lucas announced his departure from the company.

Lucas Cruikshank turned Fred’s character into a film called Fred: The Movie, which attracted Nickelodeon, a satellite television network owned by Viacom. Instead of the Fred channel on YouTube, the film was broadcast on Nickelodeon in September 2010. Following the success of the film, the animation company decided to turn Fred’s character into a franchise and produced further sequels to the first Fred film, including Fred 2: Night of the Living Fred in October 2011, Fred: The Show, and Fred 3: Camp Fred in 2012, both of which were broadcast on the Nickelodeon network. The last sequel ended the Fred series, but not Lucas’ collaboration with Nickelodeon. He secured another role in the show Marvin Marvin, which started with the end of the Fred series, but it didn’t have as much success as Fred and was therefore canceled after the first season.

Besides the Fred channel, Lucas Cruikshank has his own YouTube channel, named after himself “Lucas”, on which he publishes videos every Sunday and Wednesday. He created the channel in January 2009 and it has over 2.7 million subscribers. He appeared in an episode of the American high school comedy television show Hannah Montana, which was broadcast from 2006-2011. Lucas is currently worth $5 million. His net worth comes from his YouTube activities and his acting spell on Nickelodeon.
