Nick Kroll returns to Netflix with a fresh comedy series titled A Hundred Percent. The show follows a group of friends who work inside the Thought Leader industrial complex. They produce books, host podcasts, and share morning routines that promise to improve lives. Off camera, the characters reveal that they are far from perfect. This premise lets the series explore the gap between online personas and real life.
The series promises a witty look at the world of podcasting. It is written and executive produced by Gabe Liedman, who also serves as showrunner. Liedman previously created the hit shows PEN15 and Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Together, Kroll and Liedman aim to deliver a story that feels both familiar and surprising.
Cast and Creators
The main cast includes Sam Richardson, Jason Mantzoukas, and Vanessa Bayer. Each actor brings a unique comedic style that blends well with Kroll’s own humor. Kroll not only stars in the series but also writes and produces alongside Liedman. Additional executive producers are Max Joseph and Alex Plapinger, both known for work on music documentaries and indie films.
In a recent statement, Kroll said he is thrilled to work with Gabe and the cast. He added that he cannot wait to explore a high functioning group of friends who try to live their weird lives. Liedman echoed the excitement, noting that the team feels lucky to bring something nuts to watch soon.
Connection to Past Success
The new Netflix comedy series about podcasters reunites the creators of the popular adult animated show Big Mouth. Kroll and Liedman helped build that series, which ran for eight seasons and earned over 415 million total views across 81 episodes. Their experience with bold humor and relatable characters informs the tone of A Hundred Percent.
Netflix’s Comedy Lineup
Netflix continues to expand its scripted comedy slate. Recent titles include Nobody Wants This, Emily in Paris, Tires, Running Point, and A Man on the Inside. Upcoming releases such as Golf and Big Mistakes show the platform’s commitment to fresh, diverse comedy. A Hundred Percent adds a podcast satire angle that should attract both comedy fans and podcast listeners.
Both Kroll and Liedman are represented by top agencies. Kroll works with UTA, Rise Management, and Schreck Rose Dapello Adams Berlin & Dunham. Liedman is represented by CAA, Mosaic, and Ziffren Brittenham. Their strong support teams suggest the series will receive robust promotion on Netflix.
Fans of Nick Kroll Netflix projects can look forward to a show that mixes sharp jokes with a look at modern media culture. The series promises to be a funny, insightful, and timely addition to the streaming world.
