Trailer for The Varnell Hill Show on Paramount+; Kevin Langue Heads to Netflix
Martin's fan-favorite character Varnell Hill is ready for his close-up on Paramount+ Tuesday, September 1. The Varnell Hill Show reunites Martin Lawrence and Bentley Kyle Evans nearly three decades after Tommy Davidson's Varnell made his unforgettable debut on the iconic sitcom. The eight-episode comedy series stars Davidson alongside Kym Whitley, Wendy Raquel Robinson, Nick Cafero, Emmanuel Hudson and Chris Williams, with special appearances by Lawrence and renowned guest stars including Ms. Pat, Deon Cole, Damon Wayans, Mike Epps, Omarion and many more.
Set behind the scenes of Varnell's long-running late-night talk show, The Varnell Hill Show finds the larger-than-life host fighting to stay relevant in an ever-changing television industry. Surrounded by network executives with big ideas, a writers' room trying to keep up, celebrity guests and a team tasked with managing his outsized personality, Varnell remains convinced of one thing: he's still the biggest star in the building. Blending workplace comedy with satire, cutaways and fourth-wall breaks, the series explores the corporate, creative and personal chaos that goes into keeping "The Varnell Hill Show" on the air.
Netflix announced a partnership with creator Kevin Langue to bring his channels The Kevin Langue Show and Kevin Langue 2 (KL2) to the service. Beginning September 5, members can watch a curated collection of episodes from each channel pulled from Kevin's back catalog, with new episodes dropping day-and-date alongside YouTube going forward.
Known on YouTube as "the World's Best Guesser," Langue built his audience on big, dramatic guessing-game and social-experiment premises filmed with his close-knit circle of friends. His second channel, Kevin Langue 2, expands that universe, offering fans a more intimate, personality-driven look at Kevin through candid, unscripted content and a closer connection to the creator behind the larger-than-life entertainment.
