Charlie Sheen has crossed to the other side of the microphone. "Mostly Sheenius," the actor's new weekly interview podcast, premiered on Thursday, Nov. 12, 2026, at 7 a.m. ET, with Michael Douglas as its first guest, according to an announcement from Red Seat Ventures, the Fox Corporation-owned creator media company behind the show.

The launch caps a months-long rollout that began in August and arrives during a busy week for Red Seat Ventures, which on the same day announced an exclusive advertising and distribution deal with Christian podcaster Bryce Crawford.

Michael Douglas Opens the Series

Red Seat Ventures said the premiere episode brings Sheen and Douglas together for a conversation about Hollywood, Douglas' new book and their experience working together on the film "Wall Street." Deadline, which first reported Douglas' booking on Nov. 11, identified the book as Douglas' memoir, "One Helluva Ride," and said the conversation would cover his time working with Sheen on the 1987 Oliver Stone drama.

In its launch announcement, Red Seat Ventures described the format as Sheen sitting down "with legendary icons for honest, humorous and often unexpected conversations about the defining moments, challenges and triumphs that shaped their lives and careers." The company said Sheen will draw on "his own extraordinary journey at the center of Hollywood" and share his own stories during the interviews.

A Guest List Drawn From Family and Former Co-Stars

The announced lineup leans heavily on people with personal ties to the host. Red Seat Ventures named Rob Lowe, Martin Sheen, Emilio Estevez, Bobby Lee, Denise Richards and Jennifer Grey as upcoming guests.

Deadline noted the connections: Martin Sheen is Charlie Sheen's father and Emilio Estevez is his brother. Denise Richards is his ex-wife, with whom he has two daughters. Jennifer Grey appeared with Sheen in "Ferris Bueller's Day Off," and Deadline described Lowe as Sheen's longtime friend. Comedian and actor Bobby Lee rounds out the confirmed names.

New episodes will be released weekly. The show is available on all major podcast platforms, with full video episodes and exclusive content offered across select digital channels, according to the company. Its Apple Podcasts listing places the series in the Society and Culture category and shows a one-minute trailer, "'Mostly Sheenius' is Coming Soon!," posted on Aug. 4.

How the Show Came Together

Red Seat Ventures first announced its exclusive partnership with Sheen on Aug. 5, 2026. In that announcement, Sheen addressed the shift from guest to host in a statement.

"Having occupied the other chair as the 'guest' for the entirety of my career, I'm quite confident the endless research I've banked will play a hand in most of the choices I make," Sheen said. "That said, this is obviously not an arena where one size fits all (but I'll keep my tailor close by—and he's a whiz when it comes to the perfect hem). Welcome to Mostly Sheenius (I was pushing for Pure Sheenius but got shot down for egregious false advertising)."

Chris Balfe, chief executive of Red Seat Ventures, said in the same release that Sheen "is one of the rare personalities whose life and career have captivated audiences for decades," adding that the show's appeal rests on "Charlie's ability to connect with people through humor, honesty and shared experience."

"Mostly Sheenius" is produced by STRAC Media, with Sheen and Todd Christopher serving as executive producers. Eric Pearce, Red Seat Ventures' executive vice president of creator operations, executive produces for the company. Sheen is represented by WME and by attorney Chad Christopher at GGSSC, according to the August announcement.

Red Seat Ventures Widens Its Roster

The Hollywood Reporter, which broke news of the show in August, reported that Red Seat Ventures is part of Fox's Tubi Media Group and has predominantly worked in political commentary and true crime, with creators including Megyn Kelly, Bill O'Reilly and Nancy Grace. The outlet said the Sheen deal pushed the company further into entertainment, following an agreement with comedian Tony Hinchcliffe's "Kill Tony" in April. Red Seat Ventures says it represents more than 40 creators across true crime, comedy, news, sports and entertainment.

On Nov. 12, the company also signed an exclusive partnership with Bryce Crawford, under which it will handle audio and video ad sales and distribution for "The Bryce Crawford Podcast" across YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify and other platforms, Net Influencer reported. The show covers faith, personal growth and societal issues from a Christian perspective, and its past guests have included Nicki Minaj, Brandon Lake, Vice President JD Vance and former NBA player Dwight Howard. Red Seat Ventures said the program ranks No. 2 on Spotify in Religion and Spirituality and frequently appears among Spotify's top 100 U.S. podcasts.

"Bryce has built a compelling platform connecting young audiences," Balfe said of that deal. Net Influencer reported that the Crawford agreement follows similar ad sales and distribution arrangements with Ashley Flowers' "Crime Junkie" in October 2025, "Kill Tony" in April 2026 and Caleb Hammer's "Financial Audit" in September, and that it coincided with the launch of "Mostly Sheenius," a show the company built largely from scratch.
