Netflix has released the official trailer for Mo Amer: Wild World, the comedian’s third stand-up special for the platform.
Premiering globally on October 28, 2025, the special promises a profoundly personal and sharply observant hour from one of comedy’s most distinctive voices.

A Candid Look at Life, Culture, and Comedy
In Wild World, Mo Amer explores what it means to find balance in a time of global tension. The set blends social commentary with intimate storytelling, moving from reflections on his Palestinian heritage to the joy and chaos of becoming a father.
Amer’s ability to merge humor and vulnerability has long set him apart. His delivery, confident but grounded, invites the audience into stories that feel both specific and universal. By confronting subjects like travel restrictions, fatherhood, and cultural identity, Amer continues to carve out a space for authenticity in modern stand-up.
From Mo to Wild World: A Comedian in Motion
Amer’s previous Netflix series, Mo, earned him both a Peabody Award and a Gotham Award for Breakthrough Television Under 40 Minutes. The show followed a Palestinian refugee navigating life in Houston, blending heartfelt realism with sharp comedy.
Wild World feels like a continuation of that creative journey, one that’s less scripted but equally reflective. Directed by Amer himself, the special offers viewers a glimpse into how his voice has evolved since Mo, both as a performer and as a storyteller who bridges cultural divides through laughter.
Production and Creative Team
Produced under the All Things Comedy banner, Wild World reunites Amer with a team that understands his rhythm and tone. The special is executive produced by Mike Bertolina and Mustafa Abuelhija, who have previously collaborated with Amer on projects that highlight authenticity over spectacle.

Looking Ahead
Comedy thrives on honesty, and Amer’s latest special doesn’t shy away from it. Whether recounting the birth of his son or skewering airport security rituals, Amer turns his experiences into a mirror for shared absurdities.
In a landscape where global headlines often overshadow individual stories, Wild World reminds audiences how humor can both connect and challenge.
