Audible Announces Two Scripted Comedy Podcasts; Modern Family's Julie Bowen's Peacock Series
Audible Inc., the leading creator and provider of premium audio storytelling, and Broadway Video Enterprises, the global entertainment and media company, announced two new original comedy podcasts featuring A-list casts set to premiere this fall: The Best Man's Ghostwriter, starring Glen Powell and Nicholas Braun, and Stranded, starring Taraji P. Henson and Tracee Ellis Ross. Debuting on September 12, The Best Man's Ghostwriter follows the story of Nate (Glen Powell), a speechwriter-for-hire who helps people write incredible best man speeches. To keep the best man from embarrassing himself, Nate uses his list of Don’ts: don’t mention the exes, don’t be rated R, and don't bum everyone out, the list goes on. Nate's system never fails. That is until he meets Dan (Nicholas Braun), the hopelessly awkward best man for a mega social influencer. Featuring an all-star cast including Ashley Park, D'Arcy Carden, Lance Bass, Zach Braff, Lukas Gage, Alex Wolff, Debra Messing, George Takei, Jack McBrayer, Nicole Byer, Zach Cherry, Lennon Parham, Neil Flynn, Jason Mantzoukas, Ben Marshall, John Higgins, Martin Herlihy, Jonathan Van Ness, Sherri Shepherd, and more, The Best Man's Ghostwriter is a laugh-out-loud, heartfelt audio show written and directed by comedian and former real-life best man's ghostwriter, Matthew Starr.
Stranded, created and directed by Chris Bruno and David Howard Lee, and written with Shukri R. Abdi, is set to premiere on November 7. Joining Henson and Ellis Ross is a renowned ensemble cast including Lamorne Morris, Jay Ellis, Tim Robinson, Taye Diggs, Whoopi Goldberg, Larry Wilmore, Keith David, Ashley Nicole Black, Mikey Day, Zazie Beetz, Nicole Byer, Phylicia Rashad, Phil LaMarr, and more. The series is Executive Produced by Britta von Schoeler and produced by Gabriella Mezzacappa and Eddie Michaels. In Stranded, separated by twenty years, three thousand miles, and the unrelenting stresses of adulthood, best friends Janet (Tracee Ellis Ross) and Serena (Taraji P. Henson) plan a girls trip to reconnect. But after their party boat crashes, they’re the lone survivors to wash ashore on an uncharted Caribbean cay. Armed with zero survival skills, they must overcome rough seas, deadly wildlife, and, most terrifyingly, decades of accrued resentment to find their way home. As long as they don't kill each other first.
Peacock releases October 18 premiere date and first look teaser for Hysteria! starring Modern Family's Julie Bowen, Pitch Perfect's Anna Camp & Ash vs. Evil Dead's Bruce Campbell premiering on Peacock October 18 with all eight episodes. USA Network and SYFY will simulcast the first episode on October 18, with USA Network airing episodes each Friday. Heaven is a place on Earth - and Hell has come to this town. When a beloved varsity quarterback disappears during the "Satanic Panic" of the late 1980s, a struggling high school heavy metal band of outcasts realize they can capitalize on the town's sudden interest in the occult by building a reputation as a Satanic metal band, until a bizarre series of murders, kidnappings, and reported "supernatural activity" triggers a leather-studded witch hunt that leads directly back to them.
Series Regulars: Julie Bowen, Anna Camp, Emjay Anthony, Chiara Aurelia, Kezii Curtis and Nikki Hahn. Recurring Guest Stars: Bruce Campbell, Garret Dillahunt, Nolan North, Elijah Richardson, Milly Shapiro, Allison Scagliotti and Jessica Treska.

SitcomsOnline Digest: A Sequel to A Different World and Reboot for Scrubs?; Cartoon Network Shuts Down Website
Welcome to SitcomsOnline Digest! This week, we're learning about some reboots, a potential fourth season of Ted Lasso, the shutdown of the Cartoon Network website, and more. Let's get going!
HIGHLIGHTS FROM SITCOMSONLINE.COM AND AROUND THE WEB
- We haven't had a lot of sequel/reboot news lately, but here's a new one: a sequel to A Different World is in the works at Netflix. (Deadline)
- When asked about a Scrubs reboot, creator Bill Lawrence has responded by saying "we're definitely going to do it." (Screen Rant)
- There could be a fourth season of Ted Lasso, but it's all in the hands of Jason Sudekis as to whether or not he wants to do it. (Deadline)
- About a month or so ago, the websites for all of the Paramount cable networks mostly shutdown, scrubbing all of the content and leaving behind just a basic website with the schedule and where to find the channel on your local cable operator, but now, Cartoon Network has gone much further and shut their website down completely and not even offering a schedule, and instead redirecting people to subscribe to Max. (Variety)
- That isn't quite all for Warner and their efforts to seemingly sunset their cartoon legacy, as they also announced late last week that the Boomerang streaming service is shutting down and merging into Max. (Variety)
- Steve Martin was the first person that came to mind for many people for playing the role of vice-presidential candidate Tim Walz on Saturday Night Live, though he has reportedly (or perhaps he is bluffing) declined, stating that he is "not an impressionist." (NBC News)
- We have our first look at Travis Kelce's new game show, Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity? (Deadline)
- Hulu has a full slate of new programming for the fall. (SitcomsOnline)

Rewind TV's Welcome Back, (to School) Kotter Marathon; Gary Coleman Peacock Documentary
Rewind TV will have a Welcome Back, (to School) Kotter Marathon this Sunday. It will be a 13-hour marathon of the '70s sitcom Welcome Back, Kotter from 10am ET through 11pm ET. So let's start writing on the chalk board ("Horshack was here," "I will watch Rewind TV") and hit the books! The sitcom regularly airs on Rewind TV Mon-Fri 11a ET and Saturdays 11p ET. In the series, Gabe Kotter returns to his old high school -- this time as a teacher. He's put in charge of a class full of unruly remedial students called the Sweathogs. They're a bunch of wisecracking, underachieving and incorrigible students, and it takes all of Mr. Kotter's humor -- and experience as a former Sweathog himself -- to deal with his class.

The King of Queens brings an all-star cast, led by Kevin James and Leah Remini, to COZI TV beginning Sept. 9. The show enters its 27th consecutive season on television as part of COZI TV’s primetime lineup Mondays through Fridays and Sundays, with four episodes airing from 8 to 10 p.m. ET. To celebrate its launch, COZI TV will air an 11-hour marathon Sept. 15, starting at 11 a.m. ET.
Married... with Children centers on the not-so-lovable family of four, the Bundys, a middle-class family in Chicago, and their neighbors, Steve and Marcy Rhoades. One of the longest-running sitcoms in American television history, Married... with Children was a departure from traditional sitcoms of the era due to its offbeat humor, unflinching honesty and unsavory characters, and strained relationships. The first primetime scripted series on the FOX broadcast network, Married... with Children originally aired from 1987 to 1997. Created by Michael G. Moye and Ron Leavitt, the 259-episode series ranked as the network’s top-rated comedy and No. 2 overall program from 1991 to 1997. The show earned a Golden Globe Award nomination for Best Television Series, Comedy, in 1991.
The King of Queens follows working-class married couple Doug Heffernan, played by James, an amiable deliveryman, and Carrie Heffernan, a secretary played by Remini, as they navigate daily life with their friends and family in Queens, N.Y. The celebrated cast also features Jerry Stiller as Arthur Spooner, Carrie’s widowed father, and Victor Williams and Patton Oswalt as Doug’s friends. The King of Queens, created by Michael J. Weithorn and David Litt, averaged more than 10 million viewers per episode across nine seasons on CBS from 1998 to 2007. The series won 14 awards during its 207-episode original run, including a Primetime Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series (Kevin James), and two People Choice Awards nominations for Favorite TV Comedy.
Max has released a new brand spot featuring footage from highly anticipated HBO and Max Originals coming later this year and in 2025. The spot includes a look at new and returning fan-favorites, such as the third season of HBOs Industry (August 11), the fourth and final season of My Brilliant Friend, and the sports documentary series Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the Chicago Bears. New series including the adult animated Max Original Creature Commandos, the first series out of the new DC Universe under James Gunn and Peter Safran, Dune: The Propecy, a six-episode HBO Original drama series from the expansive universe of Dune, and The Penguin, an eight-episode HBO Original and DC Studios limited series, starring Academy Award®-nominated actor Colin Farrell, are all featured.
The spot highlights never-before-seen footage from new HBO Originals including A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, an adaptation of George R. R. Martin’s novella The Hedge Knight, It: Welcome to Derry, the prequel series to the hit films with a story by Andy Muschietti, Barbara Muschietti, and Jason Fuchs, the new comedy series The Franchise, from creators Sam Mendes and Armando Iannucci and writer and showrunner Jon Brown, and Wise Guy David and The Sopranos, a two-part documentary from acclaimed filmmaker Alex Gibney that delves deep into renowned director David Chase’s life, career, and creative process into his groundbreaking work on the HBO Original series The Sopranos. New footage from Max Originals The Pitt, a new drama starring and executive produced by five-time Emmy® nominee Noah Wyle with showrunner Emmy® nominee R. Scott Gemmill and the eight-episode drama series Duster, J.J. Abrams' first series at Max starring Rachel Hilson opposite Josh Holloway, can be seen in the spot.
New footage from returning series can be seen throughout including groundbreaking HBO Original drama series The Last of Us, which had the biggest debut season in HBO's history, the third season of The Gilded Age, which just received its first drama series and actor Emmy® nominations, and the upcoming third season of The White Lotus, along with the third seasons of Max Originals And Just Like That... and The Sex Lives of College Girls.

Johnson Returns to Bounce; According to Jim Star Starring in Lifetime Film; Remembering Erica Ash of Survivor's Remorse
Johnson, Bounce TV's popular dramedy focusing on four life-long best friends with the same last name, returns for an all-new season Saturday nights at 8pm ET / 7pm CT starting August 3 with two new back-to-back episodes. Johnson is a journey of love, self-discovery, and brotherhood, touching on hot-button topics including race, mental health, classism and the ever-evolving relationship dynamics between men and women -- themes that continue to be prominent in the new season ahead.
Johnson is produced in partnership with Eric C. Rhone and Cedric The Entertainer's A Bird & A Bear Entertainment, as well as Deji LaRay (the show's creator) and Thomas Q. Jones' Midnight Train Productions. The ensemble cast is led by Jones (P. Valley, Luke Cage), LaRay (Bosch, Greenleaf), Philip Smithey (Murderville, The Rookie), Derrex Brady (NCIS, First) with D.L. Hughley (The Original Kings of Comedy, The Hughleys). LaRay and Jones serve as show-runners and executive producers; Rhone, Cedric The Entertainer and Reesha L. Archibald serve as executive producers.
Lifetime announces the new original movie, He Slid Into Her DMs. Inspired by a true story, Courtney Thorne-Smith (Melrose Place, Ally McBeal, According to Jim) and Stella Gregg (daughter of Clark Gregg, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, Trust Me) star in the movie about a teenage social media influencer whose stalker shows up on her doorstep after blocking him online. The movie explores the tragic consequences of how online and social media fame can fuel real-world violence. Alicia Coppola (Writer and director of the award-winning short film And You Are...?, Jericho, Why Women Kill) directs her first feature film with He Slid Into Her DMs, which premieres Saturday, September 28 at 8/7c as part of Lifetime's fall Ripped from the Headlines movie slate.
Actress and comedian Erica Ash, who starred in the final season of Mad TV and played M-Chuck Calloway in Survivor's Remorse, has died. She died from breast cancer in Los Angeles on July 28. Ms. Ash was only 46.
Ash was a cast member in the first two seasons (2006-2008) of the Logo sketch comedy program The Big Gay Sketch Show. One of her characters included LaTanya, an uncouth, loudmouthed fitness instructor who teaches classes with a "Chicago-style" twist (i.e. Chicago-style yoga, Chicago-style pilates).
She joined the cast of the Fox sketch comedy series Mad TV (stylized as MADtv) in 2008 as a feature performer for the 14th and final season, along with Matt Braunger, Eric Price, and Lauren Pritchard. Her impressions included Naomi Campbell, Whoopi Goldberg, Mo'Nique, Lisa Leslie, Raven-Symoné, and Michelle Obama.
Ash had a recurring role as Bridgette Hart, Kevin Hart's ex-wife, in the 2013-2016 BET reality television parody series Real Husbands of Hollywood. The series was co-created by comedian Kevin Hart, and follows the daily lives of him and other married celebrities, each playing a fictionalized version of themselves, as they venture through their surreal life in Hollywood.
She starred as Mary Charles "M-Chuck" Calloway in the 2014-2017 Starz comedy-drama Survivor's Remorse, which was created by Mike O'Malley and produced by LeBron James. The plot centers around the lives of Cam Calloway (Jessie T. Usher) and his family after he signs a pro-basketball contract and moves his family to Atlanta. M-Chuck is Cam's half-sister. The series also starred RonReaco Lee, Teyonah Parris, Tichina Arnold, and Mike Epps (Seasons 1-2).
Ash appeared as Grace, Moz and Daniel's younger sister, in three episodes of the Netflix sitcom Family Reunion from 2019 to 2021. She guest starred as Lydia in a 2024 episode of the NBC sitcom Extended Family. She provided the voice of Julie Vous Coucher for a 2020 episode of the Fox animated sitcom Bless the Harts.
In 2018, she starred as Gwendolyn "Gwen" Sullivan, a public defender, in the BET legal drama In Contempt. Some of her other television guest appearances included Cold Case, Shades of Blue (3 episodes), Legacies (4 episodes), and Sacrifice.
Ash starred as Kendra Brooks in Scary Movie 5 (2013). Some of her other film credits included Jean of the Joneses (2016), Uncle Drew (2018), We Have a Ghost (2023), and Outlaw Johnny Black (2023).
Ms. Ash was a talented and funny actress. We thank her for the laughs and entertainment she brought us on television and in films. She will be deeply missed.

Additionally, Stewie finds out his stuffed bear Rupert was made in China and makes it his mission to take him back there to meet his family. The series will also parody The White Lotus, as the Griffin family vacation at a luxury resort, where Stewie worries that his wealthy new friends plan to sacrifice him in a volcano.
