In its official recap of the event, the company listed an “Untitled Nick Cannon Docuseries” among new shows unveiled by chief content officer Bela Bajaria. The Source published its report on May 16, but the underlying announcement traces to Netflix’s own May 13 materials.

(about.netflix.com) The company said the show will present Cannon in the role of fatherhood while also incorporating his trademark comedy and parts of his working life. (thesource.com) The official description does not include an episode count, a formal title or a specific premiere date beyond “this winter,” based on the materials Netflix has published so far. ### How does the project fit into Netflix’s upfront slate? Netflix used the May 13 upfront event to roll out a broader list of new series, films and live programming for advertisers and industry partners. (netflix.com) The company’s event recap said the Nick Cannon project was announced alongside titles including “The Retrievals,” “Barbaric,” “Myron Bolitar” and “Calabasas.” The Wrap and Deadline both described the Cannon series as part of the streamer’s new projects introduced at the upfronts.
