Bad Thoughts is an American dark sketch comedy television series created by Tom Segura for Netflix. It stars Segura, alongside an ensemble cast that includes Daniella Pineda, Robert Iler, Arturo Castro, Kirk Fox, Christina Pazsitzky, Tim Baltz, Dan Stevens, and Jimmy Kimmel. The series premiered on Netflix on May 13, 2025.
Structured as a series of vignettes, the show explores darkly comedic and provocative themes. It was produced by YMH Studios in association with Netflix.
One vignette centers on Rex Henley (Segura), a global country music star who, after losing his creative drive, resorts to kidnapping his fans and forcing them to live in an impoverished town. There, he compels them to reveal their most personal and traumatic experiences in hopes of finding inspiration for a new hit song.
In June 2025, the series was renewed for a second season which premiered on May 24, 2026. It has been nominated for two 2026 Emmy Awards as the Outstanding Short Form Comedy, Drama or Variety Series, and for Segura, as the Outstanding Performer in a Short Form Comedy or Drama Series.
