What seems fun about this series, based on the Aussie series of the same name, is that it takes the dynamic of a “buddy cop comedy” to the next level. 

No Activity specifically “…follows two low-level cops who have spent too much time in a car together; two criminals who are kept in the dark; two dispatch workers who haven’t clicked; and two Mexican tunnelers who are in too small a space considering they’ve only just met.” It’s a buddy comedy on all sides of the law.

Ferrell and McKay’s Gary Sanchez and Funny or Die will be producing it with CBS to be seen on CBS’ digital platform, CBS All Access.

Since it’s a digital series and has a Ferrell and McKay stamp on it and the original Aussie star Patrick Brammall is starring in this American version, we are crossing our fingers that this will get to seem less like the multicam sitcom fare that represents most of CBS’ comedy brand and that another original cast member, the amazing Sam Simmons will be brought on as well.
