Just a week and a change from now, we’ll get another season of the hit thriller/dramedy Search Party and embark on a search for Dory who entangled everyone into searching in the first place.

Part of the reason that Dory is the subject of the search for this new season is that (we’d say SPOILER here, but watching the trailer for this season will also somewhat spoil the last three seasons, so there you go) she has been kidnapped by a deranged stalker played by the brilliant Cole Escola. This full season 4 trailer reveals a bit of how much Dory is in trouble (and maybe getting her comeuppance?)

We’re really looking forward to a few more of hours of lockdown being spent with Elliott, Drew, Portia, and Dory starting on Jan. 14th at HBO Max.

Search Party Season 4 Finally Has a Teaser

Quarantine has lasted so long that we almost forgot a brand new season of the amazing dark comedy thriller series, Search Party, was on the horizon. It’s not on TBS anymore, so you’ll have to have HBO Max or “have access” to HBO Max, but the prospect of Dory now missing for this latest season has us really jonesing for this fourth season of Search Party to premiere already.

Unfortunately, we’ll have to wait until Thurs. Jan. 14th, 2021 until we get our Search Party fix. Until now, we can obsess over this teaser that poses a whole new game for Elliott, Portia, Drew, and a Dory that might just be getting her long overdue comeuppance.

Bob’s Burgers is on the verge of crossing 200 episodes of being one of the most charming, wholesome (but not annoyingly wholesome) families on TV (along with so many great pun-based business names and inspired, tiny songs). On their tenth season, they continue to be a true joy to watch and something pretty calming in these dark, tumultuous times.

Variety is hosting a special, exclusive Q&A with the cast and creators of Bob’s Burgers including Loren Bouchard, Nora Smith, H. Jon Benjamin, John Roberts, Kristen Schaal, Eugene Mirman, Dan Mintz and Larry Murphy to honor crossing the 200th episode mark. Together, they’ll chat about their favorite moments and some insider, behind-the-scenes stories that should be a great joy for all of the Bob’s Burgers loyal.

You’ll be able to join in and watch this live-stream panel discussion at the Variety Streaming Room on Thurs. Nov. 12th at 1PM PT/4PM ET.

Dark Musical Comedy Series Loosely Based on John Roberts’ Life Being Developed by Universal and Amy Poehler’s Paper Kite for HBO

There are so many great ingredients that are at work here. Called Edison, this project seems to lean towards Roberts taking the bubbly musical elements that he gets to play with on Bob’s Burgers and bringing them into a live action world with the sandbox that HBO allows and the latitude that a dark comedy bent brings.

Oh, we should mention that Roberts’ Bob’s Burgers co-star H. Jon Benjamin is co-writing and also executive producing this project too.

Excited for this possibly being HBO’s next comedy yet?
