What to know

  • Druski's first Netflix project, "Collect & Praise," premieres December 1 and expands his viral megachurch pastor character, co-starring Mike Epps.
  • The deal is part of Netflix's ongoing strategy of signing online creators, following prior deals with Mark Rober, Ms. Rachel, and Good Mythical Morning.
  • Netflix is also licensing existing Druski titles ("Coulda Been Love," "Coulda Been Daddy," "Coulda Been Records Auditions") alongside the new original programming.
  • The announcement comes amid Netflix cost-cutting, including roughly 1,000 layoffs and the departures of content chief Bela Bajaria and film lead Dan Lin.

“Druski has a gift for building characters that people can’t stop talking about. We want the best talent in the world to bring us their most ambitious work, reach new audiences and build their brands. ‘Collect & Praise’ is just the beginning, and we welcome Druski to Netflix.”
