Nick Cannon and His 12 Children Head to Netflix

Comedian and media mogul Nick Cannon is preparing to put his unconventional fatherhood journey front and center in a new, untitled docuseries for Netflix. The project, which is slated to premiere in winter 2026, promises an intimate look at the life of the entertainer as he navigates the complexities of raising twelve children with six different mothers.

Netflix officially greenlit the series during its recent “upfronts” presentation, where the platform unveiled its upcoming programming slate. Cannon, who has long been a fixture in the entertainment industry, took to Instagram to share his excitement with fans, posting, “It’s about to get real. Stay tuned…we cookin.”

The official logline for the series highlights the chaotic yet heartfelt nature of Cannon’s life, promising to showcase everything from “million-dollar meetings” to “midnight diaper runs.” The production team behind the show brings experience from other popular unscripted hits, including Age of Attraction and Love Island USA.

Cannon’s family includes twins Moroccan and Monroe with ex-wife Mariah Carey; Golden Sagon, Rise Messiah, and Powerful Queen with Brittany Bell; and twins Zion Mixolydian and Zillion Heir along with daughter Beautiful Zeppelin with Abby De La Rosa.

In recent years, Cannon has been candid about his personal evolution. During a past interview on The Breakfast Club, he reflected on his path to fatherhood, describing it as a “trauma response” and admitting that he might have approached things differently had he taken the time to do the necessary “inner work” earlier in his life. As he prepares to share his story with a global audience, the series aims to provide a deeper look at how he balances his high-profile career with the demands of his large, modern family.
