Netflix Announces First Original Video Podcasts With Pete Davidson Debuting Jan. 30

Exclusive distribution on Netflix signals a bid to challenge YouTube's podcast dominance.

Overview

  • The streamer set dates for two originals: The White House with Michael Irvin launches Jan. 19 with two episodes weekly, and The Pete Davidson Show premieres Jan. 30 with weekly episodes.
  • Davidson’s series features candid conversations filmed largely in his garage with occasional road segments, produced by Above Average’s Marc Lieberman and directed by Sarah Brennan Kolb.
  • Both series will be available only to Netflix subscribers, with outlets reporting no audio-only releases on podcast apps or full availability on YouTube.
  • The originals expand a growing lineup of licensed video podcasts from iHeartMedia, Barstool Sports, Spotify Studios and The Ringer as Netflix courts living-room podcast viewing.
  • The Pete Davidson Show extends the comedian’s ongoing Netflix relationship following specials in 2020 and 2024 and a 2022 Netflix Is a Joke Fest project.
