SitcomsOnline Digest: Apple TV+ Renews Loot for Third Season; CBS Developing Area 51 Comedy

Welcome to SitcomsOnline Digest! This week, we've got a ton of FAST news, but we're also hearing about the renewal of an Apple TV+ series, some celebrity deaths, and more. Let's get going!

HIGHLIGHTS FROM SITCOMSONLINE.COM AND AROUND THE WEB

  • CBS is developing a new comedy called Area 51, which is (not surprisingly) based upon Area 51. (Deadline)
  • Two new FAST channels have launched, featuring Tyler Perry favorites. (Cord Cutters News)
  • Pluto TV has become one of the most prominent FAST services, but it seems Paramount may be interested in selling it off. (Streaming Media Blog)
  • Warner Bros. Discovery has developed a reputation for cutting corners and being willing to destroy the history of what Warner once was since the merger happened, but it seems that saving the rights to NBA is some place where they're going to keep fighting. (Deadline)
  • There have been a lot of sitcom stars who have died in the past week, including Bob Newhart. (SitcomsOnline)

WEEKLY PLANNER (JUNE 20 - JULY 26)

  • Catchy Comedy has changed their binge this weekend to one featuring The Bob Newhart Show, Newhart, and Bob.
  • TBS will also have a short marathon of episodes of The Big Bang Theory featuring Bob Newhart on Sunday starting at 8, and if that isn't enough Bob Newhart material, CBS will have a special retrospective tribute airing on Monday night at 8.
  • As previously mentioned, BET has launched two new Tyler Perry channels that can be seen on Pluto TV and other FAST streamers.
