Free Bert Netflix Comedy Series Premieres January 2026

Free Bert, a new scripted comedy on Netflix, debuts in January 2026, led by comedian Bert Kreischer.

Known for his stand-up persona and unpredictable energy, Kreischer steps into a fictionalized version of himself as he navigates fatherhood, reputation, and the expectations of Beverly Hills private-school culture.

The series marks a shift for Kreischer as he anchors an ensemble cast and collaborates with longtime creative partners on a project designed for scripted television.

What Free Bert Is About

The story at the center of Free Bert follows Bert after his daughters are accepted into an elite Beverly Hills private school. His loud, unapologetic approach to life clashes almost immediately with the environment his family is trying to join. When his behavior turns them into outsiders, he decides to “put on a shirt”, a symbolic break from the image that helped define his public identity.

The Team Behind Free Bert

Free Bert is created by Bert Kreischer, Jarrad Paul, and Andy Mogel.
Paul and Mogel also serve as showrunners, writers, and directors, continuing their collaboration in comedy series production.

The executive producing team includes:

• Bert Kreischer
• LeeAnn Kreischer
• Tony Hernandez
• Lilly Burns
• Elise Henderson
• Judi Marmel

The series is developed as a scripted ensemble project, distinct from Kreischer’s stand-up specials and reality formats.

The Cast of Free Bert

Free Bert features an extensive cast surrounding Kreischer, supporting the Beverly Hills storyline and the family dynamic at the show’s center. The cast includes:

• Arden Myrin
• Ava Ryan
• Lilou Lang
• Christine Horn
• Chris Witaske
• Mandell Maughan
• Sophia Reid-Gantzert
• Robert Jon Mello
• Braxton Alexander
• Matthew Del Negro
• Noshir Dalal

This group forms the social world Bert enters, from school parents to faculty members to new acquaintances who challenge his routine.

How Free Bert Expands Kreischer’s Television Work

While Free Bert Netflix is not positioned as autobiographical, it draws from Kreischer’s public persona and long-running comedic themes. The series uses familiar elements, family tension, personal reinvention, and the gap between who someone is and who they are expected to be, without relying on sketches or stand-up formats.

The scripted structure gives Kreischer room to work with an ensemble and explore character-driven humor alongside recurring storylines.
