One thing about Saweetie? She never stops the hustle. On the heels of big collabs with McDonald’s, M.A.C. Cosmetics, and Crocs, Saweetie’s latest gig has her heading to your TV screen. The rapper is set to host Netflix’s new comedy special, Sex: Unzipped.
Netflix has announced that Sex: Unzipped is “all about sex positivity,” and will “help address the biggest misconceptions surrounding sex and identity.” Saweetie will host the special, and be joined by other celebrities, sex experts, and according to Vulture, “horny puppets of all sex and sexualities that exist in real life.”
The special will feature talking head segments from special guests such as Dominique Jackson, Mae Martin, Michelle Buteau, Nikki Glaser, Romesh Ranganathan, Sam Jay, and Trixie Mattel, and will include sex experts Alexander Cheves, Emily Morse, Oloni, and Stella Anna Sonnenbaum.
With the country’s shoddy sex education system in which some students get a patchwork education and others get none at all, any medium that brings reliable information to young people — or people of any age, really — is a welcome change. But it’s not the streaming platform’s first foray into educational but entertaining content. Shows like Big Mouth and the aptly named Sex Education also provide information that may be helpful to young people.
Sex: Unzipped will add another title to Netflix’s long roster of sex education programming, and is set to premiere on October 26.
