A Revival of Party Down Is In The Works at Starz

(via THR)

Henry’s torturous catch phrase “Are we having fun yet?” has been a sentiment that has been ringing in our head as capturing the spirit of remaining in lockdown because of the pandemic.

So, the idea of Party Down potentially returning is very much good news to us and, as far as revivals/reboots go via nostalgia bait, we’re fine with this one. If you haven’t watched Party Down yet, please stop singing the praises of Ted Lasso and go watch all of Party Down right now. There are only two seasons (and there indeed should have been more), so it ought to be a very satisfying binge.

Thus far, the original producing team of Rob Thomas, John Enbom, Paul Rudd and Dan Etheridge are committed to developing this possible revival at Starz and they’ve indicated that a good portion of the cast is likely to return (Adam Scott seems to be on board).

Perhaps, if this returns, we’ll have a better answer for the question, “Are we having fun yet?”

The sixth and final season of Silicon Valley is just around the corner, which leads HBO to close out another long-lasting, perennial award winning comedy that’s as relevant and resonant as it is funny.

From the looks of this teaser where things seems like they’re all about to come crashing down, it’s going to be a glorious swan song for Silicon Valley.

Look for the premiere of the sixth and final season of Silicon Valley on Oct. 27th at HBO.

Short film-music video hybrids that lean heavily towards comedy seem to be trending right now and that makes up pretty happy.

This latest offering for Hot Chip’s Hungry Child not only has Martin Starr (Silicon Valley) and Milana Vayntrub (New Warriors) in a truly bizarre situation, but is the brain child of filmmaker Saman Kesh.

We’re starting to think that we might be entering a whole new golden era of music videos.

Please enjoy it on repeat here.

TruTV Renews Adam Ruins Everything, Orders Guy Branum’s Talk Show the Game Show to Series, and Is Developing Projects from Austin Martinez and Martin Starr and Matt Bush

Many of you don’t even know the greatness that’s about to come with Guy Branum’s Talk Show the Game Show being made into a TV show, but, hopefully, you’ll know soon enough thanks to TruTV.

Today, via press release, TruTV announced its upcoming slate of programming and development that happened to have plenty of things that have us excited for the network in 2017.

With a Trump Administration looming, Adam Conover and his ‘bigly’ tendency to ruin things will be very nice to have for a sixteen episode second season of Adam Ruins Everything.

Guy Branum’s Talk Show the Game Show is a competitive talk show where guests have to compete to be the best, most interesting guest dealing with the sharp wit of host Guy Branum. It’s a gem here in LA that we’ve enjoyed for years and we can’t wait for the rest of the country to see what happens when guests can just rely on the story of their weird ride to the airport to get through a late night segment.

Sketch duo Austin Martinez got to incubate on Rachel Dratch’s Late Night Snack on TruTV and will now get upgraded to developing a series of their own. An animated family marijuana dispensary comedy from Martin Starr and Matt Bush is also in development.

In addition to that upcoming Bobcat Goldthwait anthology series, TruTV could have a pretty great 2017.

While it’s a pretty bold statement to call something The Biggest Show, this benefit for Young Storytellers might actually get into some superlative territory.

Seth Rogen, Jordan Peele, Nasim Pedrad, Tony Hale, Thomas Middleditch, Natasha Rothwell, Charlie Day, John Cho, Yvonne Orji, Martin Starr, Danny Pudi, Busy Phillips, Max Greenfield, Georgia King, Kimberly Herbert Gregory, and hosts The Sklar Brothers will all perform scripts written by 5th graders for this Biggest Show.

Proceeds go to Young Storytellers, which is a non-profit that connects film and TV professionals with public school students in order to foster their own short screenplay.

The Biggest Show 2016 is set for next week on Thursday, October 20th at 8PM at The Novo DTLA in LA Live. Tickets for standing room are available for $25 and you can (and should) get them here.

The highly anticipated return of something like Silicon Valley on HBO wouldn’t be complete without a high profile premiere event.

Because it’s Silicon Valley, they also can’t just throw any premiere event, which is why they pulled out a red carpet, a step and repeat, and rotating searchlights as well as have the cast and the creators gathered altogether to show a single scene from season 3 from the show.

Watch this silly event really happen here.
