Comedian Wayne Brady Gets Hulu Series; AXS TV Acquires Cash Cab from Canada

Hulu announced a series order of Untitled Wayne Brady & Family Project (working title) from Fremantle and A Wayne & Mandie Creative, the joint production company founded by Wayne Brady and Mandie Taketa. A launch date on the platform is forthcoming. The season will consist of eight episodes. Everyone knows Wayne Brady – actor, comedian, host, singer and preeminent multihyphenate of this generation. But there’s more to the man seen onstage. What happens when an entertainer so iconic peels back the curtain on the realities of an unexpected life? In “Untitled Wayne Brady & Family Project” (working title), Brady has turned the term “modern family” on its head. He’s still best friends with his ex-wife, soulmate and business partner, Mandie Taketa. Together, they co-parent their 20-year-old daughter, Maile Brady, a student and aspiring artist, as well as running their production company, A Wayne & Mandie Creative (“Wayne Brady’s Comedy IQ”). Jason Fordham, Mandie’s life partner of 12 years, handles the family’s cinematography and post-production; and Mandie and Jason recently expanded their already blended family with the birth of their son, Sundance-Isamu.
With Brady at a sudden crossroads in his life, Untitled Wayne Brady & Family Project (working title) offers an intimate look into his blended family’s personal life – revealing unexpected points of view and values that most people (including his own family) have a hard time understanding. People see their social media posts from vacations to dancing in Tik-Toks, but what’s behind the joyful 15 seconds of fun? Their real life is not always as easy and as simple as it seems.
AXS TV hits the road this summer with the popular Canadian version of the beloved commuter trivia show Cash Cab - making its network debut in primetime starting August 1. The acquisition puts the spotlight on over 100 episodes of the series, offering complete coverage of seasons five through eight. Cash Cab will air every Tuesday and Wednesday night back-to-back at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT. Hosted by comedian - and licensed Toronto cab driver - Adam Growe, Cash Cab sends unsuspecting patrons on the ride of a lifetime, giving them the chance to answer a series of increasingly-difficult trivia questions for cash prizes while en route to their destination. In contrast to its global counterparts, which tend to focus on more general knowledge, Canada's Cash Cab puts greater emphasis on questions pertaining to science, technology, nature, and adventure.
