- Nick Kroll co-created and stars in the upcoming Netflix comedy series 'A Hundred Percent,' which he described as a 'love letter' to Los Angeles and confirmed will debut in 2027
- Nick Kroll emphasized that filming 'A Hundred Percent' in L.A. was essential because the show reflects life in the city, where he has lived nearly 20 years, and praised the local crew's enthusiasm
- Nick Kroll argued that a thriving production community in Los Angeles brings not just money but 'vitality' back to the city, countering recent industry doldrums
- Nick Kroll joked about personally moving to Austin to start a podcast network, undercutting his own advocacy for L.A. production despite calling it emotionally and creatively essential
- A Hundred Percent features a cast including Sam Richardson, Jason Mantzoukas, Vanessa Bayer, and Diane Lane in a recurring role, with Gabe Liedman as co-creator and first-season showrunner
- Nick Kroll credited FX with supporting quality storytelling by launching 'Adults,' a sitcom whose international viewership doubled in Season 2 after a prequel episode helped audiences engage
Why it matters: Kroll’s public appeal highlights a material tension: while top creators advocate for revitalizing L.A.'s production ecosystem, personal career moves like his Austin relocation reveal ongoing decentralization pressures. The 40% domestic and 100% international growth of 'Adults' proves audience-building is possible with network patience, offering a countermodel to instant-hit expectations.
