Please Enjoy Trailer for Paula Pell and John Lutz’s Mystery Comedy “Mapleworth Murders”

Quibi really did snatch up quite a bit of content when amassing their war chest before their launch a few months ago. Even though so many folks that opted in for a free trial didn’t stick around after said free trial ended, Quibi can still stand tall with some recent Emmy nominations and still having shows up their sleeve that might just catch your eye once they roll them out.

One of those series is coming very soon, Mon. Aug. 10th in fact, from Paula Pell and John Lutz called Mapleworth Murders. From the trailer, the series not only trails murderers in a humble, sleepy town, but also calls into question why (as with so many similar mystery/crime shows) have so many murderers in one place. Mapleworth Murders boasts quite the ensemble cast with Maya Rudolph, Fred Armisen, D’Arcy Carden, Tim Meadows, Patton Oswalt, Jack McBrayer, Pam Murphy, Ben Warheit, Annie Mumolo, Ike Barinholtz, Marry Holland, James Anderson, and Drew Tarver.

Whether or not you’ve got or still have Quibi, you can certainly enjoy Pell and Lutz’s joyful send-up of Murder She Wrote with its official trailer here.

For how damn funny Drew Tarver is (he’s made our 100 Best List before), a show of just him doing bits and solo sketches was inevitable.

This Tuesday, February 20th, will be when that time comes with Drew Tarver: Limited Range @ UCB Franklin (written by the fantastic writing duo Nick Ciarelli & Brad Evans)

Tween Fest Series Trailer – watch more funny videos

Awhile ago, writers Nick Ciarelli and Brad Evans made a great themed sketch show called Death Valley Tween Fest that was basically a Coachella just for millennials that got out of hand.

With the go90 app needing content that will draw you to watch, Nick and Brad along with director Scott Gairdner got a chance to adapt that show into an actual series, Tween Fest, starring Drew Tarver, John Michael Higgins, Joey King, Arden Cho, and Lou Wilson with Jane Lynch, David Koechner, Tim Meadows, and Chris Parnell featuring.

From the looks of the trailer, it looks like the satirical poke at millennials and the baby boomers profiting off of them will be pretty good as well.

Look for Tween Fest to debut on go90 on August 3rd.
