Comedy Central Adds Scripted Projects ‘Interracial Couple’ from Naomi Ekperigin & Andy Beckerman, ‘The Chameleon’ from Matteo Lane, and an Adaptation of ‘Meaty’ from Samantha Irby

This announcement by Comedy Central for their time at the TCA Press Tour is much more exciting than their addition of another David Spade pop culture show to their late night offerings.

Couples Therapy’s Naomi Ekperigin and Andy Beckerman are long overdue for their own show, especially one following their lives, the prospect of seeing Matteo Lane as a spy is pretty enticing as well, and Samantha Irby is already showing a lot of promise from her work that we can see on Hulu’s upcoming series Shrill. We hope these get fast tracked through pilot to series over at CC.

FX Developing ‘Meaty’ From Samantha Irby, Jessi Klein and Abbi Jacobson

Half of Broad City plus the head of writer of Inside Amy Schumer taking on Samantha Irby’s life sounds like the right ingredients for another FX series you should keep an eye on.

Irby and Jessi Klein, who is the Inside Amy Schumer head writer, are writing and executive producing this project together with Abbi Jacobson also set to executive produce. 

So, if this go to series, a good portion of the comedy landscape on television will be nicely occupied by Broad City, Better Things, Insecure, and Meaty.
