Tom Segura is preparing to play teacher….
The 46-year-old half-Peruvian and part-Spanish American comedian/actor recently wrapped a two-day shoot over the weekend for his latest special, Tom Segura: Teacher, with plans for an unusually quick turnaround.
The special is set to be released globally on Netflix on December 24.
No word yet on what Segura covers in the hour.
It marks his fifth original for the streamer, following Sledgehammer (2023), Ball Hog (2020), Disgraceful (2018) and Mostly Stories (2016) — though his relationship with Netflix began via a licensing deal for a sixth special, 2014’s Completely Normal.
Segura’s latest hails from YMH Studios. He executive-produced alongside Ryan P. Hall and Molly Mandel.
Netflix has played a major role in the career trajectory of Segura, who has spoken publicly on many occasions about getting into business with the streamer before he understood what a dominant platform it would become.
He released two albums prior to his first special with Netflix — 2010’s Thrilled and 2012’s White Girls with Cornrows — but it was after Completely Normal began circulating on Netflix that his career exploded.
Segura has stayed in business with Netflix ever since. The platform is also home to Bad Thoughts, the sketch series in which he brings some of his darkest and most twisted comedic fantasies to life.
It earned him his first Emmy nomination for his work on the show this year and will debut a second season in 2026.
Segura launched the project independently, self-financing a pilot before establishing it at Netflix as creator, writer, director and EP.
As discussed in a July episode of our podcast Comedy Means Business, Segura has recently gone all-in on filmmaking, between Bad Thoughts and El Tigre, the R-rated comedy marking his first feature starring vehicle.
Alongside his wife Christina Pazsitzky, Segura is behind production company YMH Studios and continues to appear on its podcasts, including Your Mom’s House and 2 Bears 1 Cave.
