Tom Segura To Star In & Produce Dark Comedy Series For Netflix


Comedian Tom Segura will star in and produce a new, six-episode dark comedy series for Netflix, based on an original pilot that he self-financed.

Jeremy Konner, whose credits include Drunk History, Another Period and Waffles & Mochi, will serve as head writer, with Segura and Ryan Hall to produce through YMH Studios. Currently on his “Come Together” world tour, Segura most recently entered talks to star as Bob Zmuda and Tony Clifton, the longtime collaborator and comedic persona of avant-garde comic Andy Kaufman, in Dirty Rotten Bastard, a new film to be directed by Ryan McNeely and Josh Martin, aka The Director Brothers. Seeing his most recent special, Sledgehammer, debut at #1 on Netflix last summer, the comic has also previously been seen in films like STX’s horror thriller Countdown, Instant Family opposite Mark Wahlberg and Rose Byrne, indie comedy The Opening Act and the crime drama Flinch, and on shows like Workaholics and Happy Endings.
