Tom Segura Enters a Twisted New Reality in Netflix’s Bad Thoughts, Premiering May 13

Tom Segura is ready to take viewers deep into his unfiltered psyche.

Netflix has officially announced the premiere date for Bad Thoughts, a six-episode dark comedy series created by and starring the popular comedian. The show will debut May 13, 2025, exclusively on Netflix—and judging by the first teaser, Segura isn’t holding anything back.

The premiere announcement came in classic Segura fashion: in front of a sold-out Madison Square Garden crowd, where he unveiled the first look at the offbeat series that blends sharp wit with surreal scenarios.

Inside the World of Bad Thoughts

In Bad Thoughts, Segura explores an alternate universe fueled by the intrusive, uncomfortable, and absurd scenarios that bounce around his mind. Each episode plays out like a cinematic fever dream, with Segura at the center of increasingly bizarre situations that challenge what we consider appropriate, funny, or even real.

Think: darkest timeline meets stand-up edge—with a healthy dose of “did he really just go there?”

The result is a provocative, hilarious, and often unhinged take on modern anxieties, social taboos, and the chaos of being human. Bad Thoughts gives audiences the raw, unapologetic voice that has made Segura a mainstay in comedy, but wrapped in a fresh narrative form that pushes boundaries far beyond the stage.

A Creative Vision Straight From the Source

Bad Thoughts is more than a starring vehicle—it’s a passion project. Segura serves as creator, star, director, and executive producer, working alongside directors Jeremy Konner (Drunk History) and Rami Hachache.

The series is produced by Your Mom’s House, Segura’s own production company, with a team of executive producers including Ryan Hall, Molly Mandel, Jeremy Konner, Craig Gerard, and Matthew Zinman.

Why It Matters

Netflix continues to be the go-to platform for comedians willing to break the mold. From Inside Job to I Think You Should Leave, audiences have shown strong interest in comedy that leans dark, experimental, or deeply personal. Bad Thoughts fits squarely in that space, giving Segura fans something completely new—while inviting new viewers into his twistedly hilarious world.
