Netflix's 'Turn Up Charlie' will show us Idris Elba's lighter side

'Turn Up Charlie' stars Idris Elba as a lesser-known DJ, moonlighting as a 'manny' to his famous best friend's spoiled daughter, and this isn't his only 'first'

Idris Elba can do everything. Haters might say he can't do comedy, but the 46-year-old actor is proving them wrong with Netflix's upcoming comedy series 'Turn Up Charlie.' Not only is the award-winning actor exploring and conquering all kinds of genre, he is, perhaps, taking away the "manny" crown from Justin Hartley's character of Kevin Pearson in 'This Is Us.' 

'Turn Up Charlie,' is slated to premiere March 15 and will follow Elba as Charlie, a struggling DJ and an "eternal bachelor," who is given a final chance at success when he becomes a "manny" to his famous best friend’s problem-child daughter, Gabrielle (Frankie Hervey).
