Those Arrested Development kids sure do love to work. Jason Bateman seems to pop up in a few movies a year. Will Arnett is trying to make in both TV and film and Tony Hale is accomplishing the TV aspect on Veep. Jeffrey Tambor is kicking ass with Transparent while Jessica Walter is always lovely on Archer. Michael Cera does films here and there and makes music. Portia de Rossi is currently on Scandal and David Cross is bringing a spiritual successor of his HBO show to Netflix. Now, Alia Shawkat is getting her own series -- well, pilot. Titled Search Party, THR reports that the show will "focus on a group of four self-absorbed 20-somethings that come together when a former college acquaintance mysteriously disappears." Shawkat will be joined by John Early, John Reynolds and Meredith Hagner. Search Party was created by Sarah-Violet Bliss, Charles Rogers and Michael Showalter. Bliss and Rogers, who recently wrote Amazon's Mozart in the Jungle and Netflix’s Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp, will take over writing duties.
And Now, a Trailer for David Cross' 'Hits'
David "Blue Man" Cross directed his first film that premiered at Sundance way back in the yonder years of 2013. Hits stars Matt Walsh as a father that has an outburst in his New York town and it goes public on Youtube. He gets famous yada yada yada. The film also stars Amy Sedaris, James Adomian, Derek Waters, Wyatt Cenac among others. Although the film has no release date yet, you can bet on the movie being pretty good. Cross is a stickler for the good stuff as we all know.
Judd Apatow Now Has A Show On Netflix, Given Two Season Order
Following success of Arrested Development and BoJack Horseman, Netflix is digging its claws further into the comedy world.
THR reports the red lettered giant has signed up for Judd Apatow's latest comedy. The show was given a first season order set for 10 episodes in 2016 and the second season with 12 2017. The show is called Love and follows "Gus and Mickey, as they navigate the exhilaration and humiliation of intimacy, commitment and other things they were hoping to avoid."
“Judd Apatow has a unique comedic voice that manages to be delightful, insightful, and shockingly frank -- often at the same time,” said Netflix Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos.
The much desired script comes from Apatow himself as well as 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine's' Lesley Arfin and 'Super Fun Night's' Paul Rust who will also star alongside Gillian Jacobs.
