CBS Gets a Bit Edgy with “No Activity” from Will Ferrell, Adam McKay, Funny or Die

This uncensored trailer for No Activity, which will be a marquee series of CBS streaming platform, CBS All Access, is decidedly (and thankfully) against type for the broadcast network. 

Will Ferrell, Adam McKay and Funny or Die along with the cavalcade of your favorite comedy stars (Tim Meadows, Jason Mantzoukas, Arturo Castro,  Bridget Everett, Amy Sedaris, etc.) explore what happens in the downtime of detectives and criminals (i.e. the countless hours spent waiting for something to happen).

Of course, such downtime leaves room for plenty of decidedly non-professional police or criminal syndicate behavior. See for yourself in the trailer here.

No Activity debuts on CBS All Access on November 12th.

CBS All Access Picks Up “No Activity”, a Drug Cartel Comedy from Will Ferrell and Adam McKay to Series

CBS All Access Picks Up “No Activity”, a Drug Cartel Comedy from Will Ferrell and Adam McKay to Series

What seems fun about this series, based on the Aussie series of the same name, is that it takes the dynamic of a “buddy cop comedy” to the next level. 

No Activity specifically “…follows two low-level cops who have spent too much time in a car together; two criminals who are kept in the dark; two dispatch workers who haven’t clicked; and two Mexican tunnelers who are in too small a space considering they’ve only just met.” It’s a buddy comedy on all sides of the law.

Ferrell and McKay’s Gary Sanchez and Funny or Die will be producing it with CBS to be seen on CBS’ digital platform, CBS All Access.

Since it’s a digital series and has a Ferrell and McKay stamp on it and the original Aussie star Patrick Brammall is starring in this American version, we are crossing our fingers that this will get to seem less like the multicam sitcom fare that represents most of CBS’ comedy brand and that another original cast member, the amazing Sam Simmons will be brought on as well.
