Comedy Central renews “Inside Amy Schumer,” “Review,” & “Triptank,” orders “Another Period,” “Idiotsitter” to series and more

 June 9, 2014      Olivia Cathcart      News, Television    

schumer cropComedy Central has been making moves. The CC network announced today they are renewing their critically acclaimed sophomore sketch series Inside Amy Schumer for a third season. In addition, freshman shows Review, starring Andy Daly, and Triptank have also been picked up for another season.

Comedy Central has also announced that they have ordered two new shows to flesh out their killer line-up. The Natasha Leggero led series Another Period is set to air in 2015. The show follows Leggero and Riki Lindhome (Garfunkel and Oates) as fame-hungry sisters from a wealthy Rhode Islander family for a turn-of-the-century comedy. The pair created the series, co-produced by Ben Stiller’s Red Hour and Jeremy Konnor (Drunk History).

Joining Another Period in 2015 is the new series, Idiotsitter. Originally one of CC’s digital web-series, this is the second web-series to be turned into a full-fledged TV series behind Ari Shaffir’s This Is Not Happening. The series was co-created by Charlotte Newhouse and Jillian Bell (Workaholics) who star as a woman (Newhouse) who’s been haired to babysit a mega-rich womanchild (Bell) under house arrest. Idiotsitter is also expected to debut in 2015.

CC also announced five new digital series via their CC: Studios label that will join Kurt Braunohler’s previously announced Roustabout, which follows Braunohler’s absurd philanthropic feats including his recent cross-country jet-ski adventure for charity.

  • 300 Sunnyside – Written by Barry Rothbart and Danny Solomon, the six roommates of 300 Sunnyside aren’t worried about their stagnant existence; they have too many petty, meaningless squabbles to occupy their attention.

  • 6 Guys 1 Car – written and starring Dormtainment’s comedy troupe and directed by Nick Goossen, the series follows six guys from Atlanta to Los Angeles, documenting the “Broke and Famous” lifestyle of their YouTube popularity.
  • Team Tiger Awesome – written by Nick Mundy, Michael Truly and Clint Gage, follows a loose cannon detective, played by Chris Jericho, and his by-the-book partner, played by Mundy, who kill time on an endless stakeout by doing the one thing that ruins a good detective team…sharing feelings with each other.
