1. Ziwe might be interviewing freshly ousted U.S. Representative George Santos. This is further proof that Showtime/Paramount is wholly foolhardy and short-sighted (for the sake of profit margins) for cancelling an iconic show.

Let’s do it @ziwe 😜 https://t.co/Y4TbeZEGOg

3. The brilliance of Cole Escola will not be denied. This “lost” pilot for “Our Home Out West” is equal parts pitch-perfect camp and sharply drawn absurdism in a charming dreamy version of a Western with Cole giving Eddie Murphy a run for his money in playing multiple characters. Please watch and enjoy “Our Home Out West” now and over and over.

3. Apple TV+ cancels the musical comedy series Central Park after three seasons (Deadline). So much for a Bob’s Burgers, Great North, Central Park mega crossover episode in the Loren Bouchard-iverse (is that a thing, yet?).

4. Bill Burr has just announced his 2024 dates and we have a feeling you better set several reminders if you want to get tickets at billburr.com/tour if you want to get tix on Wednesday.

5. We’ll leave you with this: Amazon is brazenly taunting your dependence on them as a corporation in the Fallout trailer. Shop accordingly (i.e. maybe not on Amazon) this holiday season.

Behold All the Song and Mirth of Central Park Season 2 in This Trailer

Within the Loren Bouchard-iverse, we’ve been wondering what sort of fate and several ingenious musical numbers would be coming for Central Park in this latest season. The wait to see how meta they’ll get and what possible genres of song (this is very much the best musical series since Crazy Ex-Girlfriend) they’ll explore this time around (the rap number about Weehawken is pretty stellar) is nearly over. Also, if you’ve been jonesing for more Kathryn Hahn or the original cast of Hamilton, your time is coming very soon too.

Season 2 of Central Park is set to kick off on Fri. Jun. 25th on Apple TV+ (though it probably won’t be all the episodes at once) with new episodes being dropped weekly. Until then, you can get a sonorous preview of what’s to come with these new episodes in this Central Park Season 2 Official Trailer here.

Get Your First Look and Listen at Central Park Season 2 with “Weehawken Rap”

Central Park might be one of the best reasons to get Apple TV+. The very first season was an exuberant mix of clever commentary on municipal government and environmental politics, meta humor, and oh-so crafty songs that really takes the occasional musical spirit of Bob’s Burgers and runs like the wind with it.

Even if political efficacy and musicals aren’t your thing, Loren Bouchard, Nora Smith, and Josh Gad really whip up some magic with this show (and have already gotten renewed for a third season even before the second season hasn’t premiered yet).

You can get just a dollop of what we’re talking about with these several bars about Weehawken, NJ from this upcoming second season, premiering June 25th on Apple TV+.

Apple TV Plus Renews Musical Comedy Series “Central Park” for Season 3

Very quietly throughout this time in lockdown, Loren Bouchard has been building his animated comedy empire. Bob’s Burgers place in the pantheon of beloved adult animated series is more than secure while currently airing its 11th season. The Great North, which he EPs and is co-created by the Molyneux Sisters (with whom Bouchard has dutifully had among his top ranks at Bob’s Burgers) is getting its footing quite nicely as another feel good, yet delightfully and wonderfully strange family comedy.

Now, Central Park, which Bouchard co-created with Josh Gad and Nora Smith, is just about to premiere its second season on Apple’s exclusive streaming service, Apple TV Plus and, officially as of today, has been tapped for a third season. As Loren calculated in a tweet, that renewal equals almost 30 new episodes of the sensational community focused, edu-taining, meta, musical comedy and well over a 100 new songs.

Do yourself a favor if you need a pick me up (even if you’re not a “musicals” person) and give Central Park a shot in your quarantine binge watch queue.

You’ll be able to get into the second season of Central Park and sing along with dozens of songs starting Fri. Jun. 25th.

Seasons 2 and 3 of Central Park mean 29 more episodes, and something like 115 new songs. 115! The people who make this show dazzle me with their talent and ambition and will. Apple and 20th have shown their will too. I’m honored to be a part of something with this much chutzpah.

Apple Scores Animated Musical Comedy “Central Park” From Loren Bouchard, Nora Smith, and Josh Gad

As you can see the streaming services build their war chest of content, we see here that Apple has just scored a big get with this series order.

It has Gad and both a Bob’s Burgers team of Bob’s Burgers creator Loren Bouchard and Bob’s Burgers EP Nora Smith. The cast will includes the likes of Kristen Bell, Stanley Tucci, Josh Gad, Titus Burgess, Daveed Diggs, Leslie Odom Jr., and Kathryn Hahn.

In addition to Raphael Bob-Waksberg’s upcoming Amazon series Undone, it would seem as though Netflix’s line-up of critically acclaimed animated series might finally have some formidable competition this year and the next.
