Comedian and internet personality Druski is expanding his entertainment career with a new multiyear partnership with Netflix, which will bring original programming from the entertainer and his production company, 4LIFERS Entertainment, to the streaming platform. The collaboration begins with Collect & Praise, a new semi-scripted comedy series starring Druski that is scheduled to premiere Dec. 1, 2026.
The agreement marks another significant career milestone for Druski – born Drew Desbordes – who has accumulated nearly 40 million followers across social media. In addition to his viral comedy videos, he has appeared in films including House Party and Praise This, served as host of the 2026 BET Awards, and also made his hosting debut on Saturday Night Live earlier this month.
Collect & Praise centers on Druski’s popular megachurch pastor character, transforming one of his viral comedy sketches into a television production. The project originated from Druski’s Mega Church Pastors Love Money sketch, which gained significant attention online, and will also star actor/comedian Mike Epps as the pastor’s deacon. Under the new multiyear agreement, Netflix will also acquire licensing rights to selected titles from Druski’s existing content library, including Coulda Been Love, Coulda Been Daddy and Coulda Been Records Auditions, along with a selection of his comedy sketches.
Druski said in a statement: “I’ve built my platform by creating characters and comedy that resonate with people. This partnership with Netflix will give me the resources to build on that comedy foundation and bring my work to a new global audience. It’s a tremendous opportunity for our team at 4Lifers Entertainment to expand our reach, develop original programming for the masses and take our creativity to new heights.”
John Derderian, VP overseeing Next Gen Content at Netflix added: “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 & Praiseis just the beginning, and we welcome Druski to Netflix.”
