Determined to prove his worth, Corey packs up his dreams and heads to middle-of-nowhere Lubbock, Texas, with lofty ambitions to build his own ministry from the ground up. However, after quickly stumbling upon the realization that small-town church life is an entirely different ball game, Corey slowly accepts that the path to spiritual leadership might just be funnier and more profound than any sermon could ever teach,” reads the official description.

Churchy lands deal with Springhill Ent

The brainchild of Fredericks, “Churchy” started as a series the comedian launched on social media and was later expanded with the help of Lebron James production company SpringHill Ent.

In a post shared on social media, Frederick’s said this moment was a longtime coming.

After hearing no’s while shopping the series around, Kevin and his wife Melissa put their funds together and decided to produce it themselves with the help of his late brother Jason Fredericks. Springhill liked it and now it’ll be on BET+.

A dream come true

“You dream to make TV shows, to ‘make it in the industry,’ but you can’t possibly imagine how it feels when it actually happens,” said Fredericks to Variety.

“BET is a network I grew up watching. LeBron James is a person I grew up rooting for. So, I would have been happy anyway, but to be partnered with SpringHill and have the show airing on BET, that’s just way more than I bargained for.”

“I can’t think of a platform that has more of a people who are looking for this content than BET. It’s just a match made in heaven,” he adds.

Kevin, Melissa, and Jason Fredericks executive produce the series for KevOnStage Studios alongside LeBron James, Maverick Carter, Jamal Henderson and Lezlie Wills for The SpringHill Company.
