Netflix Comedy Special

American ventriloquist, producer, and stand-up comedian Jeff Dunham has also appeared on numerous television shows, including Late Show with David Letterman, Comedy Central Presents, The Tonight Show, and Sonny With a Chance.

American Vandal Season 1 (September 15) 
 

Netflix Original Series - 8 episodes

This half-hour true-crime satire explores the aftermath of a costly high school prank that left twenty-seven faculty cars vandalized with phallic images. An aspiring sophomore documentarian investigates the controversial and potentially unjust expulsion of troubled senior (and known dick-drawer) Dylan Maxwell. Not unlike its now iconic true-crime predecessors, the addictive series will leave one question on everyone's minds until the very end: Who drew the dicks?
From co-creators Tony Yacenda (Pillow Talking) and Dan Perrault (Honest Trailers), and showrunner Dan Lagana (Zach Stone Is Gonna Be Famous).
