There are several Nick Cannons — the TV host, the actor, the occasional hip-hop artist, the penitent, and, perhaps the most famous Cannon, the fertile father of 12 who sired five children in 2022 alone. A new docuseries will show how the prolific polymath — who recently cited unspecified trauma he felt after his 2016 divorce from Mariah Carey as leading him to behave carelessly and bring so many lives into the world — acts as a dad. The as-yet-untitled show will premiere on Netflix this winter.
