Jack Whitehall: Fatherhood with My Father releases on September 10, 2024

Jack Whitehall: Fatherhood with My Father will be released exclusively on Netflix. The principal cast of the Netflix documentary is Jack Whitehall himself, his father, Michael Whitehall, and his wife, Roxy Horner.

Michael Whitehall is a producer and former theater talent agent who has since embarked on a career as an author. His clients include esteemed luminaries of Britain's film industry, such as Dame Judi Dench, Colin Firth, and Edward Fox. He has established two production companies during his lifetime, one being Havehall Pictures with collaborator Nigel Haver and the other being Whitehall Films.

Michael's production record includes shows and television films such as 1997's Noah's Ark, 1992's The Good Guys, 1996's Element of Doubt, and 2002's Bertie and Elizabeth.

Roxy Horner is a model represented by Premier Model Management. She began her career at 17 years of age by appearing in Britain's Vogue. Since then, she has worked for Pandora, Victoria's Secret, and Max Factor.

On Alan Carr's podcast Life's A Beach, Michael revealed that Roxy was a vegan, which he didn't know during their first date, leading to him unwittingly taking her to a restaurant she didn't like.

The two would subsequently move in together during the COVID-19 pandemic, with Jack reflecting on his relationship in an interview with The Mirror:

"...when lockdown ended, there was a lot of things we realized. We'd never gone to see a film together. We'd never been to a restaurant in England because we met in Australia."

Jack Whitehall: Fatherhood with My Father covers the birth of Jack and Roxy's child

Jack Whitehall and Roxy Horner welcomed their daughter, Elise, in May 2023. The Netflix special covers Jack's time preparing for and anticipating the event and the challenges fatherhood brings.

Similar to the previous Netflix series Jack Whitehall: Travels with My Father, the 2024 series prominently features Jack's relationship with his father.

Jack Whitehall has already spoken about what fatherhood means to him on his Instagram, saying:

"So excited to have started a family of my own. Having vowed I've never be that guy I am now 100% going to be the parent that shows everyone endless pictures of their kid. I also wore sketchers to hospital, I think I must accept I am a full-blown dad now."

With the Netflix special expanding on Jack's fatherhood journey and how it leads him to reexamine his past relationships in a new light, there will be a lot of food for thought for viewers of Jack Whitehall: Fatherhood with My Father.
