For years, Nick Cannon’s personal life has generated almost as many headlines as his career. Now the entertainer is ready to pull back the curtain on both.
Netflix has announced a new docuseries centred on his life, offering viewers a closer look at what it takes to raise 12 children while balancing a packed entertainment career and co-parenting with six different mothers.
According to the streaming giant, the series will follow the day-to-day reality of Cannon’s unconventional family setup, capturing everything from career commitments to the challenges that come with maintaining relationships across a large blended family.
The docu-series is expected to showcase a more personal side of the television host, comedian, actor and producer, who has spent decades in the spotlight.
Cannon first rose to fame as a teenager on Nickelodeon before building a career that spans television, film, stand-up comedy, radio and music.
Over the years, he has become one of the most recognisable faces in entertainment, hosting several major television shows while also venturing into publishing and business.
The upcoming series will reportedly focus heavily on his role as a father, a subject that has frequently sparked public debate due to the size of his family and the fact that his children are shared between multiple households.
Among the mothers of his children is pop icon Mariah Carey, with whom he shares twins Scott and Monroe Cannon. The pair were married from 2008 until their divorce was finalised in 2016.
The announcement comes at a time when conversations around Cannon’s family structure continue to attract attention online.
One topic that recently made headlines involved Brittany Bell, the mother of three of his children, Golden, Powerful Queen and Rise Messiah.
Bell recently earned a PhD in Clinical Psychology, and her doctoral dissertation explored the experiences of adult children whose fathers have multiple children with different women.
Her research reportedly examined how family dynamics, identity formation and mental health can be shaped by growing up in large blended families spread across different households.
While Bell did not publicly link her research to Cannon, many social media users noted the similarities between the subject matter and the family structure she and Cannon share.
The docuseries is expected to premiere later this year.
