Derren Brown announces Netflix deal

Posted Filed under

Illusionist Derren Brown is following in the footsteps as Charlie Brooker and Ricky Gervais by signing a deal with Netflix to produce an exclusive show in the wake of his success in America.

We know that the filming is complete, but other details about the exclusive show are being kept under wraps.

In addition to new material, Netflix will be streaming two of Brown’s previous Channel 4 shows. Pushed to the Edge is the most recent special that was produced and is considered one of Brown’s most daring experiments. In it, he takes an unwitting member of the public and convinces the actor that he has no choice but to push someone off a building.

Later in the year Netflix will upload the live show Miracle, which was filmed for Channel 4 in 2016.
