Sullivan & Son Returns with All-Star Guests; George Lopez Developing Animated Series

Sullivan & Son - Ken Jeong, Billy Gardell and Kunal Nayyar

TBS' original sitcom Sullivan & Son is rolling out the red carpet for big guest stars when it returns for its third season this June. Kunal Nayyar (The Big Bang Theory), Ken Jeong (The Hangover movies, Community) and Billy Gardell (Mike & Molly) are set to return to TBS's hit original series Sullivan & Son during the show's upcoming third season. Last year marked the first appearances on the show for Nayyar and Jeong. Gardell has appeared in both previous seasons. Sullivan & Son, which ranked as one of basic cable's Top 10 original sitcoms of 2013 with adults 18-49, is set to launch its third season with back-to-back episodes Tuesday, June 24, at 10pm (ET/PT). Popular comedian Steve Byrne stars as Steve Sullivan, a former corporate attorney who left New York to run the family bar with his parents in Pittsburgh. Sullivan & Son's outstanding ensemble cast includes Dan Lauria (The Wonder Years), Christine Ebersole (Royal Pains, Amadeus), Brian Doyle-Murray (Groundhog Day, The Middle), Jodi Long (Beginners), Valerie Azlynn (Tropic Thunder), Vivian Bang (Yes Man), Owen Benjamin (The House Bunny) Ahmed Ahmed (Iron Man) and Roy Wood Jr. (Last Comic Standing).

In season three of Sullivan & Son, Kunal Nayyar will return as Neal, the ultimate ladies man who tried to steal a few hearts during the bar's Ladies Night at the bar last season. Ken Jeong will return as Jason, Steve's brother-in-law whose workaholic ways were putting strain on his marriage... that is until he let loose at the bar. Billy Gardell will return for the third consecutive season as Lyle Winkler, a quirky comic-book collector and youth hockey coach who has constant run-ins with Steve and the bar regulars.

Wormwood

Recently launched IDW Entertainment, along with George Lopez and his Travieso Production Company, announced they are developing Wormwood as an animated television series based on the acclaimed IDW comics, created by artist Ben Templesmith. David M. Stern (Ugly Americans, Simpsons) has been tapped to write the pilot episode and serve as an executive producer on the series. Circle of Confusion (Walking Dead), will also executive produce. IDW Entertainment will fund development of the series, which will soon be marketed to the networks. Wormwood follows the paranormal and obscene adventures of an inter-dimensional worm with the ability to animate corpses as host bodies. Wormwood blends horror and humor, crafting a dark tale perfectly suited for the world of animation. George Lopez can be currently seen on his new FX sitcom Saint George every Thursday at 9 on FX.
