EXCLUSIVE: Nick Kroll, co-creator and star of Netflix‘s animated series Big Mouth and spinoff Human Resources, is returning to the streamer with A Hundred Percent, a live-action comedy, which has received a series greenlight. Kroll stars in the show alongside Sam Richardson (Ted Lasso, Veep), Jason Mantzoukas (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Brooklyn Nine-Nine) and Vanessa Bayer (I Love That For You, SNL).
Written by Kroll and Gabe Liedman (PEN15, Brooklyn Nine-Nine), who serves as showrunner, A Hundred Percent is a half-hour comedy about a group of friends working inside the Thought Leader industrial complex. Their books, podcasts and morning routines might help us live our lives more perfectly, but away from the screens and mics, they are most definitely far from perfect.
Liedman and Kroll executive produce alongside Max Joseph (Catfish, We Are Your Friends) and Alex Plapinger (The Legend of Ochi, Wild Life).
“I am thrilled to make this show with Gabe and this insane cast,” Kroll said. “I can’t wait to explore this high-functioning group of friends who endeavor to live their weird lives!”
A Hundred Percent reunites Kroll and Liedman who worked together on Big Mouth; Kroll as co-creator, executive producer and voice actor and Liedman as a writer-producer. The animated comedy ran for 8 seasons and has earned over 415M total views across 81 episodes since its 2017 debut.
“Picture me doing the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders’ “Thunderstruck” flawlessly right now because that’s how I feel,” Liedman said. “This team, Netflix and this cast?! I feel especially lucky to be working with Nick again, and I promise to do my best to bring you all something nuts to watch very soon.”
Kroll, who also was star and writer on FX’s The League and Hulu’s History of the World: Part II, is repped by UTA, Rise Management, and Schreck Rose Dapello Adams Berlin & Dunham; Liedman is repped by CAA, Mosaic, and Ziffren Brittenham; Richardson is repped by UTA, Artists First and Michael Auerbach; Mantzoukas is repped by UTA, Rise Management, and Yorn Levine; Bayer is repped by UTA, Rise Management and Michael Auerbach.

A Hundred Percent joins Netflix’s slate of live-action comedy series which include Nobody Wants This, Running Point, A Man on the Inside, Emily in Paris, Tires, Survival of the Thickest and the upcoming Golf and Big Mistakes.
