Netflix and Druski Enter Multiyear Development Deal Starting With ‘Collect & Praise’ Series
Netflix and Druski have partnered for a multiyear deal where Druski's 4LIFERS Entertainment company will develop and produce original series for the streaming giant. The first project, Collect & Praise, a semi-scripted comedy about a megachurch, is set to premiere on December 1st.
Druski, a popular creator with over 15.6 million TikTok followers, will bring his viral megachurch character to life alongside Mike Epps as the unpredictable deacon. The series promises chaos, scandals, and controversies, making good use of Druski's improvisational skills.
"I’ve built my platform by creating characters and comedy that resonate with people," said Druski. "This partnership... will give me the resources to bring my work to a new global audience."
John Derderian, Vice President of Content and Head of Animation Series and Kids & Family TV at Netflix, added: "Druski has a gift for building characters... We want the best talent... to reach new audiences and build their brands."
In addition to Collect & Praise, Netflix will also license content from Druski's existing catalog, including "Coulda Been Love," "Coulda Been Daddy," and "Coulda Been Records Auditions."
