Netflix is expanding its comedy slate, and Mike Epps is once again front and center. The streamer has put My Father’s Son into active development, a new comedy series that will star Epps and tap into the sharp, character‑driven humor he’s become known for. The project continues Netflix’s growing relationship with Epps, who has already built a strong fan base through The Upshaws and multiple stand‑up specials.
In a major boost for the series, Comedian CP (Chris Powell) has joined the project, bringing his unmistakable comedic voice and timing to the developing ensemble. We’re told this is a father-son story, inspired by the life of CP, the rising stand-up from Detroit who is currently the host of BET’s Comicview: Rooftop Series. Plot details are being kept under wraps.
CP has been steadily rising as one of comedy’s most inventive storytellers, blending sharp cultural commentary with unpredictable humor — a style that pairs perfectly with Epps’ grounded, relatable comedic energy. His addition signals that Netflix is aiming for a dynamic cast capable of delivering both laughs and heart.
My Father’s Son is described as a family‑centered comedy exploring the complicated, hilarious, and sometimes emotional dynamics between fathers and sons. With Epps leading the charge and CP adding his signature comedic edge, the series is shaping up to be a fresh, culturally resonant addition to Netflix’s lineup. The concept aligns with the kind of authentic, everyday humor audiences have embraced from both performers.
Netflix has not yet announced additional cast members or a production timeline, but the early involvement of Epps and CP suggests the streamer is building a comedy that blends personality‑driven storytelling with sharp writing and strong ensemble chemistry. As development continues, fans can expect more updates on casting, episode count, and release plans.
For now, My Father’s Son stands as one of Netflix’s most promising comedy projects in the pipeline — powered by two of the most distinctive voices in modern comedy.
