Netflix Orders Tom Segura Comedy Series; Surprise! S.W.A.T. Gets Uncanceled...Again

Netflix announces a new comedy series from Tom Segura. The series goes into production later this year and will premiere in 2025. The series is a 6-episode dark comedy that centers on Segura, who also serves as the show's Narrator, as he takes us through each episode in a series of vignettes. The twisted comedic sensibility of Tom's standup is the core DNA of this series, where every story will unfold in a hilariously disturbing way only he could imagine. Jeremy Konner will serve as head writer (Drunk History, Another Period, Waffles & Mochi). Netflix picked up the series based on a pilot Tom fully produced, that was written by Tom. Rami Hachach directed the pilot. Tom Segura and Ryan Hall will produce through YMH Studios.
