Druski is bringing his viral comedy empire to Netflix

Comedian Druski has signed a multi-year deal with Netflix to develop original programming for the streaming giant. The partnership began on Monday, November 2, with the launch of Collect & Praise, a semi-scripted comedy series featuring one of Druski's popular viral characters. Druski will play a money-grubbing megachurch pastor, joined by his unpredictable deacon, Mike Epps, in a series filled with scandals, chaos, and controversy.

This deal is a natural progression for the Atlanta-born comedian, whose career has been built on turning internet jokes into a larger cultural phenomenon. Netflix will also license select titles from Druski's existing catalog, including Coulda Been Love, Coulda Been Daddy, Coulda Been Records Auditions, and his comedy sketches. Druski expressed excitement about the partnership, stating that it will allow him to expand his comedic universe and reach a global audience.

This move reflects a growing trend in entertainment, as streaming platforms seek out creators who have already proven their ability to attract and maintain audiences. Druski's success has recently been recognized, with Rolling Stone naming him the most influential creator of 2026. He is also set to host Saturday Night Live on November 7, just weeks before Collect & Praise premieres on Netflix.
