Up until this weekend, you’ve mostly come to know Quibi via a bunch of intriguing announcements of acquisitions, series orders, and additions to their development slate.

Yet, this past weekend, we got our first legitimate look at a scripted comedy series, Flipped, that honestly looks pretty fun. Kaitlin Olson and Will Forte is a pretty great pairing and a series that forces them to renovate the houses of drug cartels and other baddies has our curiosity peaked. Certainly, the trailer gives us some sort of sense if the Bluths of Arrested Development tried some scheme involving HGTV and we’re on board for that.

Even though there is a lot more to see before we can truly make a call on Quibi, they do continue to impress us.

See for yourself in the trailer for Flipped here, then keep a look out for it on Quibi on Apr. 2020.

Quibi’s Flipped Has Will Forte & Kaitlin Olson Doing Home Improvement for Drug Cartel

This is yet another very intriguing entry into the upcoming short form streaming service, Quibi.
Having “self-proclaimed” home renovations experts played by Will Forte and Kaitlin Olson who are forced to renovate a drug cartel’s homes is the sort of HGTV show we want to see.
Also, Forte and Olson’s names are Jann and Cricket Melfi, which are perfect names for them and the weirdos that they have to play, and the cartel members will be Andy Garcia, Eva Longoria, and Arturo Castro, making for one hell of a cast for a “short form” series.
Truly, Jeffrey Katzenberg’s Quibi is making a compelling case for adding another subscription service to your bundle.

It’s being pitched as a female-led post-apocalyptic buddy comedy a la Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid, which also makes us think of the sort of show that would have happened had Thelma and Louise survived.

FXx’s latest comedy will be the animated Cassius and Clay from Archer’s Adam Reed and Megan Ganz whose written for both Community and Modern Family with a great cast in Kaitlin Olson from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Lake Bell from Childrens Hospital, and Susan Sarandon. The three of them would be a cool bunch in a number of different scenario, but a post-apocalyptic setting should be especially fun to watch. Also, they have a guest cast that includes none other than Jeffrey Tambor and Stephen Root.

It’s set to debut sometime next year on FXx and we have yet to figure if there will be any sort of connection or reference to Muhammad Ali’s former name.

As far as we can tell, it sounds like Westworld meets Thelma and Louise meets Blazing Saddles or future Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid as an animated comedy.

Lake Bell and Kaitlin Olson will voice a badass bandit duo that goes back and forth between staying in and out of trouble, but ultimately getting into trouble anyway in a world that’s both post apocalyptic America and popularizes saloons again. Other characters will be voiced by the likes of Jeffrey Tambor and Susan Sarandon (AKA Louise).

Megan Ganz and Adam Reed from Community/Modern Family and Archer respectively, wrote the pilot that we’re curious if it’ll explain the reference to Muhummad Ali’s original name.

Still, this sounds intriguing on so many levels that we hope it gets picked up just so we can see what it would look like.

Kaitlin Olson is taking some time away from Paddy’s Pub and the crazed schemes of Mac, Dennis, Charlie, and Frank to now trying to woo Rob Reiner who plays Jess/Zooey Deschanel’s dad. Olson’s character will also be rivals to Jess and Cece as they were at odds with each other since high school.
