Comedian Tom Segura has just locked in his latest deal with Netflix.

According to Deadline, Segura will produce and star in a new six-episode series for the streaming service, following his five previous comedy specials. This news comes after years of Segura hinting about the series, who also wrote the pilot.

The new series will be presented in a series of vignettes that will take the viewer through ridiculous and absurd situations that are characteristically Tom Segura. It is set to be released sometime in 2025, with production taking place later this year.

In addition to his role in the series, Segura has also been in talks to play Bob Zmuda and Clifton in the upcoming biopic about the live of comedian Andy Kaufman. These new projects would mark his first major acting roles.

Segura is currently touring on his "Come Together" world tour, which is playing all over the country through the end of 2024. The tour schedule and tickets can be found HERE.
