SERIES ORDERS

“Another Period” – set at the turn of the century, “Another Period” follows the misadventures of the Bellacourts, Newport, RI’s first family, who have absolutely nothing to offer to the world, but who have so much money it doesn’t matter. The series focuses on sisters “Lillian” (Natasha Leggero) and “Beatrice” (Riki Lindhome), who care only about how they look, what parties they attend and becoming famous, which is a lot harder in 1902. The series is written, executive produced and stars Leggero and Lindhome, executive produced and directed by Jeremy Konner (“Drunk History”) and executive produced by Red Hour’s Ben Stiller, Debbie Liebling, Stuart Cornfeld and Mike Rosenstein. The pilot also stars Michael Ian Black, Paget Brewster, Beth Dover, Brett Gelman, Tom Lennon, Jason Ritter, Rosa Salazar and Armen Weitzman.

“Idiotsitter” – created by Charlotte Newhouse and Jillian Bell (“Workaholics”), “Idiotsitter” follows a straight-and-narrow young woman (played by Newhouse) who is hired to babysit a mega-rich womanchild (Bell) who is under house arrest in her daddy’s mansion. “Idiotsitter” is the second digital series produced by CC:Studios to make the transition from digital to an on-air series.

Called “the funniest TV debut of 2014” (A.V. Club) and “television’s most gleefully black comedy” (Paste Magazine), “Review” follows Forrest MacNeil as he reviews life itself: the adrenaline rush of stealing, the dangers of drug addiction, the joys of sleeping with a celebrity and answers life’s most challenging questions while dealing with the unintended consequences. The second season will be executive produced by Daly, Jeffrey Blitz and Charlie Siskel. Jim Sharp and Gary Mann are the Executives in Charge of Production for Comedy Central.
