Kumail Nanjiani, Emily Gordon, Lee Eisenberg and Alan Yang Are Developing an Immigrant Anthology Series “Little America” for Apple

Some of the minds behind The Big Sick, Master of None, SMILF, and The Office are coming together to make a series that will effectively show a quilt of the immigrant experience with, of course, their magical, timely touch.

It’s still early to call this a win for Apple right out the gate, but we believe this is definitely a big get for them over all the other networks and streaming services.

Jay-Z Has an All Black Version of “Friends” Starring Jerrod Carmichael and Issa Rae in His Music Video for “Moonlight”

Well, there’s a lot to unpack here.

Jay-Z has plenty of layers to his brand new album 4:44 and the same goes for each song and accompanying music videos. 

“Moonlight”, which features an sound byte from this year’s Oscars SNAFU when Moonlight and La La Land got mixed up for winners for Best Picture, has a music video that preempts the song with a big scene from a classic episode of Friends, but done with a cast of all famous black actors and comedians:

Jerrod Carmichael as Ross
Issa Rae as Rachel
Lil Rel Howery as Joey
Lakeith Stanfield as Chandler
Tessa Thompson as Monica
Tiffany Haddish as Phoebe

Before they go into a full remake of the episode, the song kicks in as the aspect ratio changes and a much more somber tone pervades the video. You might have to watch it a few times to even grasp how you feel about it and what you’ll take away from it in terms of black representation and visibility on both the big and small screens. 

Also, there are outtakes that could stand alone on their own and also happen to include Hannibal Buress. 

On top of all of that, Master of None co-creator Alan Yang got to direct the whole thing. 

Take all of Jay-Z’s music video for Moonlight here.

The award winning Master of None and Jill Soloway return to their respective streaming services, Netflix and Amazon Prime, to debut a second season and a new series, I Love Dick.

With that said, what a great time it is for “peak TV” and we hope that you’ve got a lot of free time this weekend.

All the acclaim that Aziz Ansari and Alan Yang’s Netflix series got in their first season was well deserved, so we’re really thrilled to see that Netflix went ahead and renewed it. 

Now we just have to wait until 2017.

One more round for (part of) the Parks and Rec gang?

Parks and Recreation creator Mike Schur and co-executive producer Alan Yang are back together with Aziz Ansari AKA Parks and Rec’s Tom Haverford for 10 episodes of a new series at Netflix.

Plot details are scarce, but the cast will feature Jon Benjamin, Noel Wells, and Eric Wareheim and Smashed and Spectacular Now director James Ponsoldt will direct.

No premiere date has been set, but the series is already in production. 

It’s things like this that are making Netflix considered to be worth more than CBS, Viacom, and Twitter.
