Alec Berg has signed an overall deal with Netflix, and the streamer is developing his first project under the agreement: a fictional college fraternity drug ring comedy series. Charlie Hall is set to star in and write the untitled series, with Berg serving as executive producer and supervising writer, according to reports.
Both outlets describe the project as a comedy centered on a fraternity drug ring premise, though details about format and plot specifics remain limited. Variety notes Berg’s prior overall deals at 20th Television (formerly ABC Signature) and HBO, where he worked under an agreement for nearly a decade, emphasizing his experience in writer-producer roles. Deadline similarly frames the development as part of Netflix’s collaboration with Hall and Berg, tied to Berg’s deal signed earlier this year.
While the outlets largely align on the deal, the key creative team, and the project’s basic premise, they differ mainly in emphasis: Variety highlights Berg’s career and prior agreements, while Deadline focuses more directly on Hall’s starring and writing role and the series’ current development status at Netflix.
