Get Woke on Hulu with New Comedy; Trailer for Tig n' Seek Released by HBO Max
Time to get woke! All 8 episodes of new comedy series Woke are set to premiere on Wednesday, September 9, only on Hulu. Inspired by the life and work of artist Keith Knight, comedy series Woke takes an absurdly irreverent look at identity and culture as it follows Keef (played by Lamorne Morris), an African-American cartoonist finally on the verge of mainstream success when an unexpected incident changes everything. With a fresh outlook on the world around him, Keef must now navigate the new voices and ideas that confront and challenge him, all without setting aflame everything he's already built. The series stars Morris, T. Murph and Blake Anderson. Woke is developed by Marshall Todd and Keith Knight. The co-creators serve as executive producers alongside showrunner Jay Dyer, Maurice "Mo" Marable, Aeysha Carr, Richie Schwartz, John Will, Will Gluck, and Eric Christian Olsen. Kate Schumaecker will serve as executive producer on the pilot. The comedy is a co-production between ABC Studios and Sony Pictures Television Inc.
HBO Max has released the trailer for its upcoming new animated comedy: Tig n' Seek. From Myke Chilian and Cartoon Network Studios, Tig n' Seek follows an upbeat and eccentric 8-year-old boy named Tiggy and his cat, Gweeseek. Tiggy not only works at the Department of Lost and Found, finding lost items all throughout Wee-Gee City, he lives there too! Though he tries to help his friends whenever he can, his over-eagerness and neurotic quirks often lead to chaos in the Department. Tiggy's partner and best friend is his cat, Gweeseek. She's a graceful, friendly kitty who appears to be a normal cat, but is also capable of inventing extraordinary gadgets to help her friends in times of need. Join Tig n' Seek as they navigate the wacky day-to-day dilemmas of working at the Department of Lost and Found.
Tig n' Seek stars Myke Chilian ("Tiggy"), Rich Fulcher ("Boss"), Jemaine Clement ("This Guy") and Wanda Sykes ("Nuritza"). Guest stars on this season include Louie Anderson, Maryann Strossner and many more. Tig n' Seek will premiere Thursday, July 23 on HBO Max.
