9PM The Spoils Before Dying mini-series premiere on IFC with back-to-back episodes
10PM Key and Peele season 5 premiere on Comedy Central
10:30PM Why? with Hannibal Buress series premiere on Comedy Central

We hope that this was already your plans for this evening. If not, and you had something, somehow blocked out for 9PM to 11PM tonight, we suggest adjusting your schedule accordingly. 

Also, Conan: Live at Comic Con is at 11PM on TBS, so just make watching comedy on your TV the thing you do all night tonight.

“The Spoils Before Dying” Will Premiere In Its Entirety Over 3 Days

IFC wants to make the weekend after the 4th of July one to remember.

The next part of “The Spoils…” mini-series franchise at IFC will premiere July 8th at 9PM with two episodes playing back-to-back. The next two nights after that will also have two episodes of The Spoils Before Dying with each block playing at the same time.

This way, you won’t be left with too much time between possible hilariously overwrought cliffhangers of Michael K. Williams getting tangled up all in jazz, drugs and murder.

We do wonder if that they’ll quickly put the whole mini-series online somewhere right after the premiere weekend. 

Kristen Wiig and Haley Joel Osment Return and Maya Rudolph and More Join “The Spoils Before Dying”

Not that we had any doubts, but it looks the next installment of IFC’s Spoils mini-series franchise, The Spoils Before Dying, could be just as epically overwrought featuring one heck of a cast.

Already, they have Michael K. Williams starring and now, they have Kristen Wiig, Haley Joel Osment, Michael Sheen, Val Kilmer, Steve Tom, and Marc Evan Jackson returning from The Spoils of Babylon as well as new cast members including Kate McKinnon, Tim Meadows, Chris Parnell, Emily Ratajkowski, Andy Daly, Chris Mulkey, Chin Han, Jack Kilmer, Patty Guggenheim, and Bérénice Marlohe.

So, just imagine all of this cast in a noir-ish murder mystery that follows a jazz piano player, but does so according to the words of Eric Jonrosh (Will Ferrell in a beard, fedora, and fat suit).

Michael K. Williams To Star in The Spoils of Babylon Follow-Up “The Spoils Before Dying” at IFC

Yes, it’s the Michael Kenneth Williams that played Omar on The Wire.

Following Tobey Maguire’s Devon Morehouse on IFC mini-series The Spoils of Babylon, Michael K. Williams will star in the upcoming iteration of “Spoils” written by “literary figure” Eric Jonrosh (Will Ferrell).

The follow-up will be called The Spoils Before Dying and Williams will play a jazz pianist in the Los Angeles of yesteryear that gets caught up in a web of deceit and lies in which he tries to clear his name. 

We’re pretty sure Ferrell in a giant hat and a beard, Williams, and a beautifully and intentionally overwrought faux-dramatic mini-series is a winning combination.
