NBC Orders More Brooklyn Nine-Nine; Disney Gets Another Multi-Cam Sitcom
NBC is adding five episodes to its original 13-episode order for the award-winning comedy Brooklyn Nine-Nine, bringing the total to 18 episodes for the 2018-19 season. The sixth season of Brooklyn Nine-Nine will premiere on NBC in midseason. NBC acquired Brooklyn Nine-Nine in May during the Upfront. The comedy stars Andy Samberg as Det. Jake Peralta; Andre Braugher as Capt. Ray Holt; Terry Crews as Sgt. Terry Jeffords; Melissa Fumero as Det. Amy Santiago; Joe Lo Truglio as Det. Charles Boyle; Chelsea Peretti as Gina Linetti; Stephanie Beatriz as Det. Rosa Diaz; Dirk Blocker as Det. Hitchcock; Joel McKinnon Miller as Det. Scully Executive producers are Michael Schur, Dan Goor, David Miner and Luke Del Tredici.
Production has begun on Sydney to the Max, a daughter/father comedy series created by Emmy(R) Award-nominated writer, showrunner and executive producer Mark Reisman (Frasier, The Exes, Wings). The multi-camera series is scheduled to premiere in early 2019 on Disney Channel. A heartwarming and sentimental comedy, Sydney to the Max centers around the experiences of a sociable, goodhearted middle schooler named Sydney Reynolds and her protective, doting - and sometimes clueless! - single dad Max as they navigate the challenges of growing up. Set during two timeframes, decades apart, flashback scenes to young Max and his best friend Leo in the 1990s parallel many of the funny predicaments Sydney and her BFF Olive get themselves into. VHS camcorders, bleached skater hair and other '90s-defining "relics" aside, Sydney and Max come to realize, aided by Sydney's kicky grandmother Judy, who's well-versed in Max's childhood antics, that they have more in common than either realizes.
Thirteen-year-old actress Ruth Righi (School of Rock) leads the cast as title character Sydney. Adult Max is played by Ian Reed Kesler (Suits, Kickin' It), while young Max is played by newcomer Jackson Dollinger (Puppy Dog Pals). Caroline Rhea (Sabrina, the Teenage Witch, Phineas and Ferb) is Ruth's grandma Judy, seen in both decades. Ruth's best friend Olive is played by Ava Kolker (Girl Meets World), while young Max's best friend Leo is played by Christian J. Simon (The Amazing World of Gumball).
