Is the TV show Netflix Presents: The Characters available on Netflix, Disney+, Prime or Apple TV+?

The Characters (2016) and where to stream it. True to its tagline — "No rules. No expectations." — this sketch series hands the spotlight to eight different comedians, each given a half-hour to build worlds, push boundaries and introduce offbeat, character-driven sketches. Think of it as eight solo stages of surreal, sharp and often unpredictable comedy, where each episode is its own experimental open mic. As a Netflix original, the series is available on Netflix. It is not carried on Disney+, Prime Video or Apple TV+. While the show earned praise for showcasing fresh voices and inventive characters, it did not collect major industry awards.

Netflix Presents: The Characters

Synopsis

Unconstrained and unpredictable, this series hands each of eight comedians a thirty-minute spotlight to experiment, sharpen their voice and win over an audience — a free-form showcase where format takes a back seat and the performer sets the terms.
