Bert Kreischer Gets Netflix Sitcom; NBC Gets Into Survival Mode This Summer
Free Bert, a new scripted comedy series from actor and comedian Bert Kreischer, is coming to Netflix. The Bert Kreischer-led comedy has cast Arden Myrin as Bert's wife LeeAnn and the mother of their two daughters who grew up in a trailer park, Ava Ryan as the couple's older daughter, Georgia, who is the target of cyberbullying, Lilou Lang as the younger daughter, and Mandell Maughan in a recurring role. The six-episode series was created by Kreischer and directors Jarrad Paul and Andrew Mogel.
In Free Bert, Kreischer - shirtless comedian, party legend, perpetual wildcard - finds himself in uncharted territory when his daughters are accepted to an elite Beverly Hills private school. When his unbridled antics turn his family into outcasts, he decides to "put on a shirt" and stifle his true nature to better fit in." LeeAnn Kreischer, Tony Hernandez, Lilly Burns, Elise Henderson and Judi Marmel also executive produce for Counterpart Studios.
Survival Mode, an all-new weekly limited series produced by NBC News Studios, premieres Monday, July 7 at 10 p.m. ET/9 p.m. CT on NBC. Across nine episodes, the series chronicles some of the most recent devastating disasters - including the Maui wildfires, the Amtrak 501 derailment, Superstorm Sandy, and the sinking of the Costa Concordia - through firsthand accounts from survivors and rare archival footage.
Each episode offers an in-depth look at how ordinary people, alongside first responders and loved ones, faced extraordinary circumstances.
