UNINTERRUPTED Original Series “Now We’re Talking” Renewed by go90 for Second Season of Eight 22-Minute Episodes
WGA Award-Nominated Sports-Themed Comedy from Warner Bros. Television Group’s Digital Studio Blue Ribbon Content and Creators/Executive Producers/Stars Tommy Dewey & Tug Coker to Return in 2018
BURBANK, Calif. (December 7, 2017) – UNINTERRUPTED’s Original Series Now We’re Talking, from Warner Bros. Television Group’s digital studio Blue Ribbon Content, has been renewed for a second season by go90 and will premiere on the service in 2018. The live-action sports-themed comedy will provide additional content for fans – scaling up from shortform to the traditional half-hour episode length of 22 minutes for each of the eight episodes ordered for season two.
Created, written, executive produced by and starring Tommy Dewey (Casual) and Tug Coker (The Office), the second season of Now We’re Talking will continue the hilarious rivalry between Tug and Tommy – two former professional football quarterbacks. In season two, the frenemies find their stride as they take the leap into employment as professional broadcasters.
Guest stars for season two include Michael Mosley (Ozark), Kyle Bornheimer (Casual), Cynthy Wu (upcoming The Happytime Murders), Bonnie Somerville (Code Black), Adam Lustick (Adam Ruins Everything), Kellee Stewart (Hot Tub Time Machine) and Ryan Michelle Bathe (This Is Us). Tug Coker & Tommy Dewey serve as executive producers on season two, along with Maverick Carter, Jason Berger and Amy Laslett. Laura Murphy (Adam Ruins Everything) is the director. The writers are Coker, Dewey, Shawn Simmons, and Sophie Pustil & Paul Jaffee.
Now We’re Talking season one featured a number of professional athletes and sports broadcasters, including Shawne Merriman, Curt Menefee, Lance Briggs, Plaxico Burress and Landry Fields. Now We’re Talking is both critically and commercially acclaimed, with the first season nominated for a 2017 Writers Guild Award in the Short Form New Media – Original category. TVGuide.com wrote that the series is “the perfect sendup of the ridiculous world of sports broadcasting,” and Forbes.com exclaimed, “If this is the future, then the future might just be bright after all.”
