Matlock is inspired by the classic television series of the same name.

The CW Acquires Son of a Critch; FX's The Bear Returns June 22

Son of a Critch

The CW Network has partnered with CBC and Lionsgate Television for the original comedy series Son of a Critch from acclaimed comedian, actor and writer Mark Critch. From Andrew Barnsley, the Emmy® and Golden Globe®-winning executive producer of Schitt's Creek, and Tim McAuliffe, writer of The Office and Last Man on Earth, and starring Golden Globe® nominee Malcolm McDowell, the 13-episode first season of Son of a Critch will debut on The CW in Summer 2023.

Based on the award-winning, bestselling memoir from Mark Critch (This Hour Has 22 Minutes), Son of a Critch is the hilarious and very real story of a young Mark coming of age in the 1980s. The series is a heartfelt window in the life of a child—who is much older inside than his 11 years—using comedy and self-deprecation to win friends and connect with the small collection of people in his limited world. The comedy stars Mark Critch as his father, Mike, and Benjamin Evan Ainsworth (Pinocchio) as young Mark. Claire Rankin (Molly's Game) stars as Mark's mother, Mary, alongside newcomers Sophia Powers and Mark Rivera, who play classmates of young Mark. Colton Gobbo (Ginny & Georgia) plays Mark's older brother, Mike Jr., and Golden Globe® and SAG nominee Malcolm McDowell (A Clockwork Orange, Bombshell) also stars as Patrick "Pop" Critch.

Son of a Critch's premiere season in Canada ranked as the #1 scripted program on CBC in key audience demos. Since its premiere, it has ranked as one of the top 5 most-watched Canadian comedies overall, and Season 2 was the most-watched English-language Canadian comedy series and CBC's most-watched program with 18-49 and 25-54 audiences. The series has received four prestigious Canadian Screen Award nominations and two Directors Guild of Canada nominations. Son of a Critch was recently renewed for a third season and will be produced in association with The CW.




The Bear

FX's The Bear, the critically acclaimed, award-winning hit series is set to premiere its hotly-anticipated second season Thursday, June 22 exclusively on Hulu. All 10 episodes will be available at premiere. Season 2 of The Bear will be available on Star+ in Latin America and Disney+ in all other territories at a later date. FX also released the season 2 key art. Season two follows Carmen "Carmy" Berzatto (Jeremy Allen White), Sydney Adamu (Ayo Edebiri) and Richard "Richie" Jerimovich (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) as they work to transform their grimy sandwich joint into a next-level spot. As they strip the restaurant down to its bones, the crew undertakes transformational journeys of their own, each forced to confront the past and reckon with who they want to be in the future.

Of course, it turns out the only thing harder than running a restaurant is opening a new one, and the team must juggle the insane bureaucracy of permits and contractors with the beauty and creative agony of menu planning. The transition brings a newfound focus on hospitality as well. As the entire staff is forced to come together in new ways, pushing the boundaries of their abilities and relationships, they also learn what it means to be in service, both to diners and each other. In addition to White, Edebiri and Moss-Bachrach, the half-hour series also stars Abby Elliott, Lionel Boyce, Liza ColĂłn-Zayas and Matty Matheson, with Edwin Lee Gibson, Oliver Platt and newcomer Molly Gordon in recurring roles.

SitcomsOnline Digest: First Week of Writers' Strike Already Sees Early Casualties; Fox Cancels Call Me Kat

Welcome to SitcomsOnline Digest! It's the first week of a writers' strike, so get ready for some disruptions to your TV viewing experiences while the negotiations go down (actually, many have already begun). We also have some renewal and cancellation news, including a rather surprising move of a Fox show heading to ABC (no, it's not an animated comedy). Let's get going!

HIGHLIGHTS FROM SITCOMSONLINE.COM AND AROUND THE WEB

  • Rumors of an impending strike had been floating for several months, so perhaps we shouldn't be totally surprised (though if you weren't following the story closely it may have been), but we now have another writers' strike that is going to shutdown production of new episodes of TV series. (CBS News)
  • One of the first casualties of the writers strike is the remainder of the season for Saturday Night Live, for which all three episodes have been scrapped. (Screen Rant)
  • Call Me Kat? No, you can call it cancelled, as the Fox sitcom has been cancelled after three seasons. (Variety)
  • Deadline has a look at all the shows that have been cancelled in 2023, and it's not a short list either. (Deadline)
  • This one is a little out of the blue: Fox has cancelled 9-1-1, but ABC has decided to pick it up. (Vibe)
  • The Conners may be coming to an end after the upcoming sixth season, although even if it does, it has had a rather long and successful life for a reboot series. (Deadline)
  • Dancing with the Stars is moving back to ABC. (SitcomsOnline)

WEEKLY PLANNER (MAY 6 - MAY 12)

  • Last weekend, Catchy Comedy had a binge of Happy Days; this weekend, it is Laverne & Shirley.
  • ABC, through their ABC News division, begins a four documentary part series celebrating game shows, with The Game Show Show, starting on Wednesday.
  • The MTV Movie and TV Awards airs tomorrow night, but it'll be a little different due to the writers' strike.
  • The final season of Children Ruin Everything debuts Friday on Roku.

Dancing with the Stars Returning to ABC in Fall; Conan O'Brien Producing New Podcast Miniseries

Dancing with the Stars

Dancing with the Stars will make history once again becoming the first series to simulcast across both ABC and Disney+ for its upcoming 32nd season, and will be available the next day on Hulu. Beginning this fall, the beloved show will reach audiences across multiple Disney platforms in their respective time zones. Dancing with the Stars is the hit series hosted by Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough in which celebrities are paired with trained ballroom dancers to compete in themed choreographed dance routines that are judged by a panel of renowned ballroom experts, including Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli and Derek Hough. The show is produced in front of a live audience by BBC Studios Los Angeles Productions.


The Lost Hans & Franz Movie

Conan O'Brien's award-winning podcast Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend announced a brand new podcast miniseries, The Lost Hans & Franz Movie. The four-part podcast series -- featuring comedy legends Conan O'Brien, Dana Carvey, Robert Smigel, and Kevin Nealon -- will drop new episodes weekly beginning Wednesday, May 17. The Lost Hans & Franz Movie is a Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend audio miniseries about Hans & Franz, a movie musical that was never made. Hans & Franz was originally a screenplay written by O'Brien, Carvey, Smigel, and Nealon, based on the 1980's Saturday Night Live sketch starring Carvey and Nealon. Although it was in development at Sony, then Columbia Pictures, in the early 1990's, the musical was never made into a motion picture, but would have starred Carvey and Nealon, as well as Arnold Schwarzenegger (playing himself and other characters in the script).

The podcast miniseries' cast is comprised of the original four writers: O'Brien, Carvey, Smigel, and Nealon. In each episode, they will read selected scenes from the screenplay, and then use those scenes as a jumping off point to reminisce and riff about this formative time in their lives. Carvey recently referenced the film script on O’Brien’s podcast, which was the catalyst for the new miniseries, as the team thought it would be fun to revisit this project. After several meetings, Team Coco secured the rights to read the script for the podcast, and will be airing this podcast miniseries on the Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend feed. Universal Pictures’ R-rated comedy Strays is the presenting sponsor of The Lost Hans and Franz Movie, a special Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend miniseries.

Human Resources

Human Resources - a Big Mouth spin-off series - returns June 9 for Season 2 only on Netflix. Florence Pugh, Miley Cyrus, Eugene Levy, Sam Richardson, Niecy Nash-Betts, Jason Mantzoukas, and Isabella Rossellini to guest star. Series Regulars: Nick Kroll, Maya Rudolph, Aidy Bryant, Randall Park, Keke Palmer, Brandon Kyle Goodman and David Thewlis. Returning Guest Stars: Hugh Jackman, Pamela Adlon, Rosie Perez, Henry Winkler, Thandiwe Newton, Jemaine Clement, Maria Bamford, Bobby Cannavale, Cole Escola

From the inventive minds that brought us the award winning adult animation favorite Big Mouth comes the even edgier and adult-ier Human Resources. The spin-off pulls back the curtain on the daily lives of the creatures - Hormone Monsters, Depression Kitties, Shame Wizards and many more - that help humans journey through every aspect of life from puberty to parenthood to the twilight years. It quickly becomes clear that though the protagonists are creatures, they have a lot of humanity themselves. Featuring an all-star voice cast - including Nick Kroll, Maya Rudolph and David Thewlis reprising their Big Mouth roles as well as Aidy Bryant, Brandon Kyle Goodman, Keke Palmer, and Randall Park among others - Human Resources is not your normal day at the office. The series is co-created and executive produced by Kelly Galuska, Nick Kroll, Andrew Goldberg, Jennifer Flackett and Mark Levin.

Peacock's Twisted Metal Drops in July; IFC Dark Comedy SisterS Launching May 17

Twisted Metal

Peacock has released the teaser and premiere date for upcoming original series, Twisted Metal. Series comes from Sony Pictures Television, PlayStation Productions and Universal Television. The live-action comedy series will premiere exclusively on Peacock July 27, 2023. Twisted Metal has the cars, it has the weapons, and it has the battles. But what it also has are people. I know you will fall in love with these characters and what drives them, no pun intended (okay, maybe a little intended). You will cheer for our charismatic hero John Doe, played by Anthony Mackie, as he drives across the Divided States of America in search of a place to belong. You’ll laugh as an enigmatic woman named Quiet, played by Stephanie Beatriz, throws John’s world for a loop after a chance encounter, forcing the two together and changing both their lives for the better. You will root for our heroes to take down psychotic highway patrolman Agent Stone, played by Thomas Haden Church, who sees the world in black and blue. And you’ll discover a surprising soulfulness to our deranged, murderous clown Sweet Tooth, voiced by Will Arnett and performed by Joe Seanoa aka wrestler Samoa Joe.

Twisted Metal, starring Anthony Mackie, Stephanie Beatriz, Thomas Haden Church, with Will Arnett and Joe Seanoa, a half-hour live-action TV series based on the classic PlayStation game series, is a high-octane action comedy, based on an original take by Rhett Reese & Paul Wernick and written by Michael Jonathan Smith, about a motor-mouthed outsider offered a chance at a better life, but only if he can successfully deliver a mysterious package across a post-apocalyptic wasteland. With the help of a badass axe-wielding car thief, he’ll face savage marauders driving vehicles of destruction and other dangers of the open road, including a deranged clown who drives an all too familiar ice cream truck.




SisterS

Highly anticipated dark comedy SisterS is set to premiere on IFC on Wednesday, May 17 at 11pm ET/PT, with new episodes airing weekly. The full season will be available to binge on Sundance Now and AMC+ the same day. Starring Emmy(R) nominee Sarah Goldberg (Barry) and Susan Stanley (Fair City), the witty six-episode season marks the writing debut of the real-life best friends.

In Toronto, Canada, Sare's (Goldberg) mother dies. In the aftermath of her death, she discovers that her father was not her actual father, he was in fact, an Irish busker her mother met while backpacking some thirty years ago. She decides to travel to Ireland to track him down, only to discover she has a half-sister. Meanwhile in Dublin, Suze's (Stanley) life is unravelling - she's lost her partner, her flat, her job... and not to mention - her dignity. On her 37th birthday, her life takes an unexpected turn, when her Canadian half-sister shows up. Sare convinces a reluctant Suze to embark on a road trip across Ireland to find their alcoholic father. Confined by the four walls of a crumbling ice cream van, it's a baptism of fire for these sisters. They forge an unbreakable bond as they discover sometimes it's the family you choose that can carry you through. The series also features (alphabetically): Harki Bhambra (This Is Going to Hurt), Liam Carney (Harry Wild), Frank Laverty (The Virtues), Donal Logue (Law and Order: Special Victims Unit), Rory Nolan (Foundation) Darragh Shannon (Wolf), Pat Shortt (The Banshees of Inisherin) and Sophie Thompson (Sex Education).
