HBO Gets 2nd Season of McBride and Goodman Comedy; HGTV and Bradys Go Digital

HBO has renewed the comedy series The Righteous Gemstones for a second season. The Righteous Gemstones, starring Danny McBride, John Goodman, Edi Patterson and Adam Devine, kicked off its nine-episode season August 18. Telling the story of a world-famous televangelist family with a long tradition of deviance, greed and charitable work, the series was created by McBride (HBO's Vice Principals and Eastbound & Down), who is an executive producer, director and writer. McBride collaborators Jody Hill and David Gordon Green also serve as executive producers and directors.
Well into the second generation of a grand televangelist tradition, the renowned Gemstone family is living proof that worship pays dividends in all sizes, including their megachurch. Danny McBride stars as Jesse Gemstone, the eldest of three grown Gemstone offspring, who looks to lead in his father's footsteps, but finds his past sins jeopardizing the family ministry. John Goodman, Edi Patterson, Adam Devine, Walton Goggins, Cassidy Freeman, Tony Cavalero, Tim Baltz and Greg Alan Williams also star.
In support of Monday's much anticipated premiere of HGTV's A Very Brady Renovation, the network's digital platforms are giving Brady Bunch superfans an unprecedented amount of exclusive behind-the-scenes footage from the production of the series. This mega-content plan includes a never-before-seen glimpse into the personal lives of the Brady Bunch cast, untold stories from family members of The Brady Bunch series creator Sherwood Schwartz, and groovy 70s-inspired DIY projects. So far this year—and before the series has even premiered—digital support for A Very Brady Renovation has generated more than 7.2 million total video views across all of Discovery's digital and social platforms, with more than 4.2 million page views on HGTV.com/Brady, the network's one-stop shop for in-depth articles, exciting video content, photo galleries and show updates.
Building Brady, the digital video series that has ranked as a top 3 title on HGTV GO since it launched June 14, has been re-released on the network's Facebook page. An all-new episode launched on the social channel timed to the A Very Brady Renovation Monday premiere, with the final Building Brady episode launching on Tuesday, Oct. 8. Building Brady captured the on-set intimate moments and spectacular demo projects during production of the series, which stars the Brady TV siblings Barry Williams (Greg), Maureen McCormick (Marcia), Christopher Knight (Peter), Eve Plumb (Jan), Mike Lookinland (Bobby) and Susan Olsen (Cindy) and HGTV stars Jonathan and Drew Scott (Property Brothers), Mina Starsiak and Karen E Laine (Good Bones), siblings Leanne and Steve Ford (Restored by the Fords), Jasmine Roth (Hidden Potential) and Lara Spencer (GMA, Flea Market Flip).
