Glitch is known for independently producing and funding animated web series such as Meta Runner, Sunset Paradise, Murder Drones, and The Amazing Digital Circus.

[‡ 2] On 5 December 2018, following multiple teasers on the SMG4 channel, Glitch released the trailer for Meta Runner, and the first series premiered on 25 July 2019.
While earlier Glitch projects were essentially created on a monetary loss, Murder Drones greatly outperformed expectations and received millions of views per episode.
The Amazing Digital Circus would also increase Glitch's notoriety, garnering news coverage, as well as their YouTube channel eventually reaching 10 million subscribers and 1 billion total views.

[19] On 17 January 2025, Glitch announced their first 2D animated series Knights of Guinevere in collaboration with The Owl House alumni Dana Terrace, John Bailey Owen, and Zach Marcus that is tentatively scheduled to premiere sometime in 2025.
[citation needed] In March 2024, Glitch was accused of firing the voice actress for Tari from Meta Runner and SMG4, Celeste Notley-Smith, in a callous manner, and recasting her with Lottie Bourne, which led to allegations against the studio and confusion among fans.
On 4 March 2024, Kevin released a statement via Glitch's social media outlets addressing the controversies, doubling as an apology to workers who had negative experience with the company.
Kevin additionally claimed the studio had faced prior issues due to being short-staffed, but had largely resolved worker conditions by 2023.
