Live from New York: It’s Charlamagne Tha God and the crew from “The Breakfast Club” morning talk show — on Netflix.
Starting June 1, Netflix will stream “The Breakfast Club” live daily, available to subscribers worldwide. It will become the streamer’s first daily live program, airing each weekday starting (bright and early!) at 6 a.m. Eastern.
The Netflix livestream will feature nearly three hours of uninterrupted programming, featuring commentary from Charlamagne and co-hosts DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious and Loren LoRosa and interviews with guests. While “The Breakfast Club’s” radio broadcast will continue to include traditional commercial breaks, on Netflix viewers will have an “uninterrupted experience” — with ad breaks filled by exclusive bonus segments including behind-the-scenes moments and extended discussions.
The video-podcast version of “The Breakfast Club” moved to Netflix in January 2026, when full episodes of the show stopped being distributed on YouTube — prompting some fans to express frustration that the video version is no longer available to watch for free. That was part of a larger licensing deal between iHeartMedia and Netflix for exclusive rights to the video versions of a slate of podcasts. To date, episodes of “The Breakfast Club” are made available on Netflix shortly after the radio broadcast, but now they’ll be available live.
Charlamagne Tha God said in a statement: “Do y’all understand what ‘live globally’ really means? Mornings in New York. Daytime in the U.K. and Ghana. Evenings across other parts of the world. The media landscape will always evolve, but one thing consistently cuts through: live programming. That’s a big reason ‘The Breakfast Club’ has sustained its reign for so long. We’re building something powerful — real-time conversation, real community, on a global scale. The future belongs to those who can see what’s possible — and trust me, the vision for ‘The Breakfast Club’ and Netflix is crystal clear.”
“The Breakfast Club” originates from iHeartMedia’s Power 105.1/WWPR-FM radio station in New York and will continue to be nationally syndicated by Premiere Networks on more than 100 broadcast radio stations nationwide and on the iHeartRadio app, with all audio-only rights and distribution continuing to be retained by iHeartMedia. Audio replays of “The Breakfast Club” are also available on podcast platforms including Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
“’The Breakfast Club’ has been a cultural staple for years, and we’re thrilled to make it our first daily live morning show on Netflix,” said Lauren Smith, Netflix’s VP of content licensing and programming strategy. “It’s a big step forward in how we bring culturally defining audio-first franchises to life for Netflix audiences around the world, and we’re excited to deepen our partnership with iHeartMedia.”
Netflix jumped into the podcast space last year. It has licensed shows from iHeartMedia, Spotify and Barstool, and built out a lineup of original podcasts including “The Pete Davidson Show” and upcoming pop-culture interview podcast “We’re Back! With Brian Williams,” hosted by the former NBC News anchor.
In December 2025, iHeartMedia renewed its deal with Charlamagne (real name: Lenard McKelvey) for another five years. First launched in 2010, “The Breakfast Club” is “widely regarded as the most informative and entertaining top-rated contemporary Hip-Hop/R&B morning show today,” iHeart claims.
Guests who have appeared on the show include President Barack Obama, President Joe Biden, VP Kamala Harris, Jay-Z, Cardi B, Kendrick Lamar, Kevin Hart, Snoop Dogg, Future, 50 Cent, Lizzo, Will Smith, Alicia Keys and many more. The crew also hosts “Weekends with The Breakfast Club,” a three-hour weekly program featuring a countdown of the top 20 songs on the charts and interviews. Charlamagne Tha God and “The Breakfast Club” were inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame in 2020.
“’The Breakfast Club’ has always been at the center of culture, breaking artists, shaping conversations and reflecting real life in real time,” said Bob Pittman, iHeartMedia’s chairman and CEO. “Taking this show live every day to a global audience on Netflix is a powerful example of how we’re expanding the reach of our biggest brands while giving audiences entirely new ways to experience them.”
