Quibi Announces Fire Island Sitcom; ABC Picks Up 4th Season of Red Hot Drama

Quibi has given the greenlight to Fire Island comedy series Trip. Created by Joel Kim Booster and set on the iconic Fire Island, Trip is an unapologetic, modern day rom-com inspired by Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. The story centers around two best friends who set out to have a legendary week-long summer vacation with the help of cheap rosé and a cadre of eclectic friends. Trip is written by Joel Kim Booster and produced by JAX Media. Joel Kim Booster is a Los Angeles-based stand-up and writer who stars in the Hulu sitcom Sunnyside. Other screen credits include Shrill (Hulu), BoJack Horseman, and Big Mouth (Netflix). He's written for Billy on the Street (truTV), Big Mouth (Netflix), and The Other Two (Comedy Central), and has appeared on Conan, Late Night with Seth Meyers & The Late Late Show with James Corden.

ABC has renewed Station 19 for a fourth season. The series is produced by ABC Studios. ABC Studios is a part of Disney Television Studios, alongside 20th Century Fox Television and Fox 21 Television Studios. To note, the season 17 pickup of Grey's Anatomy was previously announced in May 2019. Ranking as the No. 1 program in Thursday's 8:00 p.m. hour this season in Total Viewers and Adults 18-49, ABC's Station 19" is growing its overall audience over its prior season (+9%) to deliver its most-watched season ever.

Station 19 follows a group of heroic Seattle firefighters as they put their lives and hearts on the line. The latest series from Shondaland and the executive producers of Grey's Anatomy, Scandal and How to Get Away with Murder takes us inside the tough, tight-knit and sometimes heartbreaking world of the city's bravest first responders.
