It has been far too long since the last season of Search Party to see what the hell they were going to do for the final season. In truth, any moment longer than the last frame of season 4 felt too long (especially as it seems like we’re going back into some sort of lockdown again due to Omicron).

Thankfully, season 5 is just a few weeks away and this latest look at the fifth and final season is especially juicy and ripe for the daring, often unhinged (in a great way) satire that Search Party has become. After trying to find and rescue various characters over the seasons, it looks as though Dory is lost yet again, but not in the physical sense so much as lost herself in leading a cult (and partnering with a dubious Jeff Goldblum) in the process.

If you thought that John Early’s Elliott pretending to be a Gay Republican conservative news pundit or how Dory was kept captive by a psychopath was wild, it would seem this season has a lot more in store and might just be as crazy as what the real world is (yet thankfully, very fictional).

Get a taste of what’s to come with the season 5 official trailer here, then look for the series to begin streaming on HBO Max come Fri. Jan. 7th.

‘Corpse Tub’ Appears to Be a Dark Comedy About a Cult That You Will Be Obsessing Over

On one level, you have Kate Micucci and Sam Huntington dealing with the fact that the tub in their suspiciously cheap apartment is a key component in a ritual of suicidal cult with a leader played by Taika Waititi.

On another level, you have Dan Harmon actually starring as a cop trying desperately to sell his life story in a script.

On yet another level, the rest of the cast is rounded off by such wondrous comedy folks as Maria Bamford, Mark McKinney, Rhea Seehorn, Brian Posehn, Dana Gould, Josh Brener, J Lee, Brian Girard, Lilan Bowden, Jon Dore, Mindy Sterling, Michael St. Michaels, Craig Cackowski, Britney Young, Ryan Simpkins and Ron Lynch.

We try to stop ourselves from getting too preemptively excited about a film that has yet to be made, but this does sound pretty magical in a darkly funny way, maybe akin to The Lobster. So, suffice it to say that our hopes are indeed up for this.
