‘Free Bert’ Renewed for Season 2 at Netflix

Netflix has renewed its comedy series, Free Bert, for a second season, just months after its initial release. The demonstrate, starring comedian Bert Kreischer, has garnered attention for its unique premise and Kreischer’s performance.

What is ‘Free Bert’ About?

Free Bert centers around Bert Kreischer, playing a semi-fictionalized version of himself, as he navigates life after his daughters are accepted into an elite Beverly Hills private school. According to Netflix, the first season followed Kreischer—a “shirtless comedian, party legend, perpetual wildcard”—as he attempts to adapt to a more conventional lifestyle and fit in with the school’s community. Netflix describes how he initially tries to change his behavior, “putting on a shirt” and stifling his true nature to better integrate.

While specific plot details for Season 2 remain under wraps, production is expected to accept place in Atlanta, Georgia, mirroring the location of the first season. The show is created by Bert Kreischer, alongside Jarrad Paul and Andy Mogel, who also serve as showrunners, writers, and directors. The Hollywood Reporter notes that Paul and Mogel expressed their gratitude to Netflix for believing in the show and allowing them to continue Kreischer’s “freeing.”

IMDb lists additional cast members such as Mandell Maughan, Chris Witaske, Braxton Alexander, Matthew Del Negro, Robert Mello, Sophia Reid-Gantzert, Christine Horn, Noshir Dalal, Pacman Jones, Rakesh Gosain, Rashal James, Chloe Bremer, Taj-Naranja Jenkines, and Sophia Joss.

Reception and Ratings

Season one of Free Bert received a rating of 6.5/10 on IMDb and currently holds a 67% Tomatometer rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
