(via The Hollywood Reporter)

HBO is pushing forward with their comedy branding by doing a sports mockumentary, specifically of the legendary tennis tournament known as Wimbledon. Andy Samberg and Kit Harrington will star as rival tennis players and Fred Armisen, Lena Dunham, Karen Gillan, Michael, Sheen, and more have also been cast.

This is being billed as an one-off comedy event at HBO, perhaps similar to those Greatest Events in Television History at Adult Swim.

Community Probably Returning Sometime After Christmas

(via Entertainment Weekly)

Yesterday, there was a panel for Community at Comic Con and series creator Dan Harmon remarked that the return of the show would probably come after Christmas at their new home at Yahoo.

It might be a few months to wait, but we have a feeling that it will be worth given the fact that Harmon isn’t necessarily bound by 22 min. running time for a half hour sitcom or as stringent language/content restrictions.

Amazon to Spend Over $100 Million in Q3 on Original Series

(via Variety)

With the success of series exclusively released through online streaming giants like Netflix, Amazon is upping their bet on producing original content.

This next quarter, they’re setting to spend over $100 million on producing their original series, though we’re not sure how that’s divvied up between their new pilots and returning series. Hopefully, such a bank roll for Amazon Studios will bring more enticing original comedy series like the enticing Stephen Soderbergh and David Gordon Green pilot Red Oaks.

Both Drunk History and Nathan For You just got picked up for their third seasons at Comedy Central only after a few weeks into their second seasons.

On their night, we’ll still maintain that Drunk History, Nathan For You combined with The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, and “@midnight” is one of the most solid blocks of comedy on TV right now and will thankfully be that way in the future.

Charlie, Mac, Dennis, Sweet Dee, and Frank are indeed all putting together a book of advice, which will undoubtedly words to live by, so long as well all move to South Philly and work at a dive bar.

While they’ll cover such topics as varied as fashion and survival, we hope that the DENNIS system is broken down in even greater and more disgusting detail. The book is real and on pre-order.

Netflix Has Just Passed 50 Million Subscribers From a Lot of Your Binge Watching

July 27, 2014
Uncategorized

(via The Hollywood Reporter)

Whether it be watching something like Arrested Development, Netflix stand-up specials, Orange Is The New Black, etc. the subscribers of Netflix have grown in number all the way past 50 million. That’s 1.69 million subscribers added worldwide from the second quarter of this year alone. 

In contrast, Nielsen reported recently that there are currently an estimated 115.6 TV households in the U.S., which comes out to a 1.2% rise from the last TV season.

While it seems unfair to compare worldwide Netflix subscribers to U.S. TV households, these numbers also don’t account for Hulu Plus subscribers, people watching HBO GO even with an HBO subscription, Amazon Instant, and more (i.e. the aggregate viewership of online streaming networks).

So, we wouldn’t be surprised to see, a few years down the road if Netflix commanded the viewership and produced the amount of content that a network does year round, which would be probably pretty great for comedy series/specials/movies/talk shows.

See what could be very well be the future of Hardball on Funny or Die here.
