Netflix today announced a multiyear deal with the YouTuber, comedian, and influencer Druski, and he’ll create original content “exclusively” for the streaming service. The announcement is the latest in Netflix’s efforts to bring creators onto the platform, having previously landed deals with YouTubers including Mark Rober, Ms. Rachel, and Good Mythical Morning.
Druski’s first show coming to Netflix is Collect & Praise, a semi-scripted comedy series where Druski plays a megachurch pastor, and it will debut on December 1st. It will be the first of “several original projects” planned by Druski and his production company, 4LIFERS Entertainment, according to a press release. Netflix is also licensing other Druski series, including Coulda Been Love, Coulda Been Daddy, and Coulda Been Records Auditions.
The announcement follows Netflix’s recent earnings, where it told investors not to worry even though users have been watching less. The company recently laid off around 1,000 employees, and chief content officer Bela Bajaria and film lead Dan Lin left the company.
