Nick Cannon to open up family life in Netflix docuseries this winter
Nick Cannon will open his life as a father of 12 to cameras in an untitled Netflix documentary series due this winter.
The series — a documentary series that follows real life rather than a scripted story — will trace how he parents and co-parents across a large and blended family. Netflix has dated the show for winter 2026, a window that covers the end of this year and the start of next.
The actor, comedian and TV host spoke about the project in a cover story interview with Us Weekly published Monday, Sept. 28, according to Billboard. He said nothing about his personal life will be off limits in the series. He says he is nervous. He added that he has “nothing to hide.”
“People have been fascinated with my lifestyle for quite some time, so instead of letting them make up stuff, I’m gonna give you everything,” Cannon said. The line sets the reason for the show. He wants to answer public curiosity directly instead of leaving it to speculation.
He said the six mothers of his children have allowed cameras into their homes for filming. They “didn’t really sign up” for life in public, he said, but agreed to take part. That cooperation matters because the story cannot be told from one house alone.
His oldest children are 15-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe, whom he shares with his ex-wife Mariah Carey. His 10 younger children are with five other mothers, bringing the total to 12 children with six mothers. The series will follow how Cannon divides his time and shares parenting duties across those households, the day-to-day shared work known as co-parenting.
Netflix first announced the project in May, with an official show page now live on Tudum, the company’s site for release dates, cast news and trailers Netflix Tudum. At the time, the streamer described it as a premium documentary series that follows Cannon navigating his blended families with humour, according to Deadline. Trade press noted then that the programme had no title, and it remains untitled.
What makes this stand out is the access involved. For viewers, this means moving between homes rather than watching one household. If Cannon delivers what he promises, the result will include school runs, routines, disagreements and celebrations across several families at once.
Cannon built his career across acting, comedy and television presenting. The Netflix series puts that public role to one side and keeps the focus on family life. A firm release date has not yet been confirmed beyond the winter window.
