The trailer of Netflix’s Free Bert made it quite clear that it is not your run-of-the-mill comedy series. The star of the show, Bert Kreischer, who is famous for his high-energy stand-up comedy while being shirtless, will be taking a new turn when he is forced to put on a shirt. So, even with this new twist, fans can expect the wild energy in the series.

With Netflix announcing its premiere date, there is much to know about the plot, cast, and more. However, the first question is whether the series is based on a true story.

The upcoming series Free Bert, which features the famed comedian Bert Kreischer, is not based on a true story. Instead, this scripted comedy series is based on a fictionalized version where the comedian will play the shirtless comedian and party legend. However, the trouble begins when he is asked to put on a shirt after his daughters joined a Beverly Hills private school.

Netflix has just announced that Free Bert, starring Bert Kreischer, is set to be released on January 22. Till then, fans can watch the trailer or, even better, binge-watch Bert Kreischer’s Secret Time, Hey Big Boy, Lucky, and more.

The series, which is set to run for 6 episodes, is created by Jarrad Paul, Andrew Mogel, and Kreischer. They are also the writers and directors of the show. Bert Kreischer’s wife, LeeAnn Kreischer, Tony Hernandez, Elise Henderson for Counterpart Studios, and Judi Marmel are the executive producers.

Apart from a genius team behind it, the show will also feature an impressive cast.

As the title hints, the series will feature Bert Kreischer, and Arden Myrin will join him to play the role of his wife, LeeAnn. Ava Ryan will play the role of Bert Kreischer and Lee Ann Kreischer’s older daughter, Georgia, who gets targeted by cyberbullies. 

With a powerhouse cast and intriguing story, the series is clearly a heartwarming watch packed with just the right amount of comedy. Until January 22, fans can watch other comedy delights on Netflix.
