Free Bert (2026)

A gloriously messy dad and his equally unfiltered family cause chaos when they try to fit in with the snobby crowd at their elite new school.

Shirtless Origins: Bert Kreischer's trademark shirtless appearance is central to the show's storyline. The series explores the origins of his "shirtless thing," which he describes as representing freedom, fun, and a middle finger to the world.
Semi-Autobiographical Chaos: While not strictly autobiographical, "Free Bert" draws heavily from Bert Kreischer's life and comedic themes. The show is a fictionalized version of Kreischer navigating family life and Beverly Hills culture.
"Putting on a Shirt": The main conflict arises when Bert's daughters attend an elite private school, and he's pressured to "put on a shirt". This symbolizes his attempt to suppress his authentic self and fit in with the more refined social circles.
Real-Life Inspiration: Kreischer created the show with writers Andrew Mogel and Jarrad Paul, drawing inspiration from his own experiences. His wife, LeAnn Kreischer, served as an executive producer on the show.
Filming Location: "Free Bert" was filmed in Atlanta, Georgia, which served as a stand-in for both Los Angeles and Beverly Hills settings. Despite some reported unprofessional conditions on set, critics agreed that the final series felt cohesive and tonally consistent.
