The Breakfast Club, a hit morning radio show starring Charlamagne tha God, DJ Envy, and Jess Hilarious, will expand with a live simulcast to Netflix starting June 1. It will be the first daily live program to run on Netflix.
The Breakfast Club is described as “one of the most influential and culturally resonant broadcast radio morning shows in the country.”
We are told that the radio broadcast will continue to include traditional commercial breaks. But on Netflix, viewers will receive uninterrupted feature programming, enhanced exclusive bonus segment, behind-the-scenes glimpses, and extended discussions. It will be a three-hour package.
“The Breakfast Club has always been at the center of culture, breaking artists, shaping conversations, and reflecting real life in real time,” said Bob Pittman, Chairman and CEO for iHeartMedia. “Taking this show live every day to a global audience on Netflix is a powerful example of how we’re expanding the reach of our biggest brands while giving audiences entirely new ways to experience them. Whether it’s morning in NYC or the afternoon in London, the conversation is live and reaching the world in real time.”
“Do y’all understand what ‘Live Globally’ really means? Mornings in New York. Daytime in the U.K. and Ghana. Evenings across other parts of the world,” said Charlamagne tha God. “The media landscape will always evolve, but one thing consistently cuts through: live programming. That’s a big reason The Breakfast Club has sustained its reign for so long. We’re building something powerful—real-time conversation, real community, on a global scale. The future belongs to those who can see what’s possible—and trust me, the vision for The Breakfast Club and Netflix is crystal clear.”
“The Breakfast Club has been a cultural staple for years, and we’re thrilled to make it our first daily live morning show on Netflix,” said Lauren Smith, Netflix VP of Content Licensing and Programming Strategy. “Every weekday, members can drop into nearly three hours of live, unfiltered conversation, plus exclusive moments they won’t hear anywhere else. It’s a big step forward in how we bring culturally defining audio-first franchises to life for Netflix audiences around the world, and we’re excited to deepen our partnership with iHeartMedia.”
