Netflix is officially staying in the Druski business

Druski, the Atlanta-based comedian who has gained massive online popularity, is expanding his reach with a multi-year deal with Netflix. The announcement, made on Monday, reveals that Druski, whose real name is Drew Debordes, will create original content for the streaming service, beginning with a semi-scripted series called Collect And Praise, which premieres on December 1. The series sees Druski playing a money-hungry megachurch pastor in tandem with actor Mike Epps.

Moreover, Netflix is also licensing some of Druski's popular YouTube content, including the series Coulda Been Love, Coulda Been Daddy, and Coulda Been Records Auditions, among others. In an accompanying video, Druski is depicted as the mastermind behind his diverse entertainment empire, overseeing the creation of prosthetics for his controversial sketch parading Turning Point USA head Erika Kirk, dismissing legal concerns about potential lawsuits, and preparing for the pyrotechnics of Collect And Praise's church-themed setpiece.

When asked what lies ahead for him, Druski remained succinct, replying, "No further questions." Netflix's executive John Derderian expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating that Druski possesses the talent to craft characters that captivate audiences. He added that the streaming giant aims to collaborate with the best in the industry to produce ambitious work, attract new viewers, and grow their brands.

Collect And Praise is merely the beginning, and Netflix welcomes Druski to join their platform. Druski himself praised the deal, acknowledging that it will bolster his comedy foundation and enable him to bring his work to a wider global audience. He described the opportunity for his team at 4LIFERS Entertainment to expand their reach, create original programming, and push their creativity to new heights.
