Druski, the Atlanta-based comedian, has signed a multi-year deal with Netflix, according to TheGrio. His 4LIFERS Entertainment brand will develop original content exclusively for the streamer, starting with the semi-scripted series 'Collect & Praise,' in which he plays a money-driven church pastor and Mike Epps plays his deacon; Netflix will also license 'Coulda Been Love,' 'Coulda Been Daddy' and 'Coulda Been Records Auditions.' Read the original report from TheGrio.
