Comedian and social media star Druski is taking his viral comedy to a bigger stage, signing a multi-year partnership with Netflix that will see him develop original programming for the streaming giant. The collaboration will begin with Collect & Praise, a new semi-scripted comedy series arriving on December 1.
The upcoming series will bring one of Druski’s most recognisable characters to television, following his viral portrayal of a flashy, money-hungry megachurch pastor. Joining him is comedian and actor Mike Epps, who plays the pastor’s unpredictable deacon as the pair navigate scandals, controversy and escalating chaos.
Inspired by the character Druski introduced through his online sketches and later brought to a wider audience at the BET Awards, Collect & Praise looks set to extend his signature comedy into a longer-form format.
The Netflix agreement also marks a significant step forward for Druski’s production company, 4LIFERS Entertainment. Beyond the new series, the partnership will see the company develop additional original projects for the platform, expanding the comedian’s creative reach beyond social media.
“I’ve built my platform by creating characters and comedy that resonate with people,” Druski said in a statement announcing the deal. He added that the partnership would give his team the resources to introduce its work to a global audience and develop original programming on a larger scale.
Netflix will also license selected titles from Druski’s existing catalogue, including Coulda Been Love, Coulda Been Daddy, Coulda Been Records Auditions and a selection of his comedy sketches. The move will give subscribers an opportunity to discover more of the content that helped establish his online following.
John Derderian, Netflix’s vice president overseeing Next Gen Content, praised Druski’s ability to create memorable characters, describing Collect & Praise as the beginning of the streamer’s collaboration with the comedian.
The deal arrives during a major period of growth for Druski, who has built a following of nearly 40 million across social media platforms. His career has expanded into film and television, with appearances in House Party, Praise This and Livestream from Hell, alongside appearances in music videos for artists including Drake, Jack Harlow and Lil Yachty.
He has also made headlines throughout 2026, becoming the youngest-ever host of the BET Awards and appearing on the cover of TIME’s TIME100 Next issue. He was additionally named the most influential creator on Rolling Stone’s 2026 list and recognised by Complex as the funniest person on the internet for the second consecutive year.
Druski is set to reach another career milestone on November 7, when he hosts Saturday Night Live, becoming the first digital content creator to host the long-running NBC comedy show.
With Collect & Praise leading the way, Druski’s Netflix partnership signals an ambitious new chapter for the comedian as he brings his internet-born humour to an even wider audience.
Collect & Praise premieres on Netflix on December 1, 2026.
