Bert Kreischer, the beloved American comedian known for his larger-than-life personality, is set to launch his own six-part comedy series on Netflix titled “Free Bert.” This new show marks another milestone in Kreischer’s career, which already includes nearly half a dozen stand-up specials and a reality series where he takes fellow comedians to a cabin for relaxation and fun.
“Free Bert” features Kreischer as a fictionalized version of himself, embodying the playful and raunchy humor that fans have come to love. The show’s premise revolves around Kreischer’s comical struggle as his daughters gain admission to an elite Beverly Hills private school. As his wild antics turn his family into social outcasts, he decides to “put on a shirt” and hide his true self in a bid to fit in with the other parents.
The cast of “Free Bert” includes several notable names. Arden Myrin, known for her roles in “The Righteous Gemstones” and “Insatiable,” portrays Kreischer’s wife, LeAnn, while young actress Lilou Lang plays his younger daughter, Ila. Kreischer’s eldest daughter, Georgia, is portrayed by social media star Ava Ryan, who became famous for her appearances in viral videos alongside her mother and has over a million followers on Instagram.
While Kreischer’s real children are in their late teens, the series depicts them as high school students, played by actors reflecting their younger ages. Chris Witaske takes on the role of Landon Vanderthal, and Mandell Maughan plays his on-screen wife, Chanel Vanderthal. David Ury rounds out the cast as Dr. Syzkiel, showcasing his versatility with a portfolio that includes roles in “The Walking Dead” and “Better Call Saul.”
“Free Bert” promises a blend of comedic antics and heartfelt moments, drawing inspiration from Kreischer’s personal family experiences. The series offers viewers an entertaining escape and is set to premiere on Netflix on January 22. With its array of relatable themes and humor, audiences can look forward to an enjoyable binge-watching experience.
