The network’s also revealed plans for two new shows: Another Period and Idiotsitter. On the digital side, Comedy Central’s ordered up five original series which will debut sometime in 2014.

New Comedy Central Series Orders:

Another Period – set at the turn of the century, Another Period follows the misadventures of the Bellacourts, Newport, RI’s first family, who have absolutely nothing to offer to the world, but who have so much money it doesn’t matter. The series focuses on sisters “Lillian” (Natasha Leggero) and “Beatrice” (Riki Lindhome), who care only about how they look, what parties they attend and becoming famous, which is a lot harder in 1902.

The series is written, executive produced and stars Leggero and Lindhome, executive produced and directed by Jeremy Konner (Drunk History) and executive produced by Red Hour’s Ben Stiller, Debbie Liebling, Stuart Cornfeld and Mike Rosenstein. The pilot also stars Michael Ian Black, Paget Brewster, Beth Dover, Brett Gelman, Tom Lennon, Jason Ritter, Rosa Salazar and Armen Weitzman.

Idiotsitter – created by Charlotte Newhouse and Jillian Bell (“Workaholics”), Idiotsitter follows a straight-and-narrow young woman (played by Newhouse) who is hired to babysit a mega-rich womanchild (Bell) who is under house arrest in her daddy’s mansion. Idiotsitter is the second digital series produced by CC:Studios to make the transition from digital to an on-air series. The series’ six-episode digital season can be found here: www.cc.com/shows/idiotsitter.

Comedy Central Renewals

Inside Amy Schumer – renewed for a third season, Amy Schumer’s critically-acclaimed sketch series has tackled everything from sexual politics to Aaron Sorkin, with guest appearances from Paul Giamatti, Josh Charles, Zach Braff, Parker Posey, and many other notable names. The Los Angeles Times hailed the latest season as “brilliant, biting… outrageous” and Entertainment Weekly said it was “sharper than ever.” The series was created by Schumer and Daniel Powell, who executive produce along with Jessi Klein, the series’ Head Writer. Steve Ast is co-executive producer and production services are provided by Jax Media, helmed by veteran producer Tony Hernandez. Original music composed by Questlove. Brooke Posch and Cory Stern are the Executives in Charge of Production for Comedy Central.


Review – renewed for a second season, Review stars Andy Daly (Eastbound & Down) as life critic “Forrest MacNeil” and follows this atypical reviewer as he goes above and beyond the boring subjects like films, food or art. Called “the funniest TV debut of 2014” (A.V. Club) and “television’s most gleefully black comedy” (Paste Magazine), Review follows Forrest MacNeil as he reviews life itself: the adrenaline rush of stealing, the dangers of drug addiction, the joys of sleeping with a celebrity and answers life’s most challenging questions while dealing with the unintended consequences.

The second season will be executive produced by Daly, Jeffrey Blitz and Charlie Siskel. Jim Sharp and Gary Mann are the Executives in Charge of Production for Comedy Central.

TripTank – renewed for a 20-episode second season, TripTank showcases a wide range of fast-paced, hard-hitting animated comedy shorts presented in an anthology style, weaving together stand-alone and recurring narrative pieces. The series is executive produced by ShadowMachine’s Alex Bulkley and Corey Campodonico and delivers a variety of mind-bending animation styles featuring a broad range of formats including 2D, stop-motion and CGI from a varied list of talented creators, including Tommy Blacha, Daniel Cardenas, Nick Gurewitch, Evan Keogh, Laura Kightlinger, Jordan Morris, Bill Oakley, Bob Odenkirk, Tim Saccardo, and Greg White. Monika Zielinska and Ian Friedman are the Executives in Charge of Production for Comedy Central.

DIGITAL SERIES ORDERS

“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.

Written by Barry Rothbart and Danny Solomon, the series stars Rothbart, Brian Huskey, Betsy Sodaro, Nick Rutherford, Chris Reinacher and Cornell Reid and is directed by Andy Landen.

“New Timers” – written by, directed by and starring comedy duo Good Cop Great Cop, aka Matt Porter & Charlie Hankin, “New Timers” follows Matt and Charlie, two friends who managed to survive the apocalypse. The world has changed, Matt and Charlie have not.

Walking Dead returns to Hollywood Horror Nights

AMC’s The Walking Dead will once again inspire a creepy zombie-filled maze at the Halloween Horror Nights event at Universal Orlando Resort and Universal Studios Hollywood. The 2014 original maze will be inspired by season four of The Walking Dead and will mark the third year in a row the series will be a part of the annual Halloween scarefest.

“This has been an incredible collaboration and I am thrilled to be working once again with the creative teams at Universal Orlando and Universal Studios Hollywood to bring the world of The Walking Dead to our dedicated fans,” said Greg Nicotero, Executive Producer and Special Effect Makeup Supervisor for the series. “I can’t wait for visitors to experience first-hand some of the iconic moments from Season 4 in what will be the biggest, most exciting and frightening ‘Walking Dead’ maze to date.”

Per Universal Studios’ official announcement: “This year’s bone-chilling mazes will place guests at the heart of a harrowing journey to seek sanctuary at Terminus, an elusive destination that promises community for all. Mirroring the terror that befell the residents of the West Georgia Correctional Facility, now overrun by savage walkers, the experience will send guests fleeing from the fallen prison into unknown territory as they once again stage a desperate battle for survival against flesh-eating walkers and ruthless humans.”


“Bringing a horror property back for a third year in a row is always a decision that is carefully considered. Fortunately, The Walking Dead is unlike any horror brand around. Its appeal spreads across so many types of viewers. Hardcore and casual horror fans alike are watching week after week, and season 4 offered many new and unique environments and walkers,” added Michael Aiello, Creative Development Director for Universal Orlando’s Entertainment team. “This year, we are taking this partnership to the next level, with a monstrous soundstage maze and a scope that is bigger and badder than anything we’ve ever done in the history of our event.”

Visitors to Universal Studios Hollywood will also see the undead walkers prowling the woods surrounding the movie studio. And the “Terror Tram: Invaded by the Walking Dead” will put horror fans/park visitors on the road to Terminus and will include walkers and the burned moonshine cabin from season four.

Introducing the Women of ‘Sisterhood of Hip Hop’

Sisterhood of Hip Hop new show details

Oxygen Media is set to premiere the new docuseries Sisterhood of Hip Hop on August 12, 2014 at 9pm ET/PT featuring female emcees including Bria, Nyemiah Supreme, and Siya. The new series focuses on female artists as they attempt to succeed in a male-dominated musical genre.

Oxygen’s giving Sisterhood of Hip Hop an eight-episode season one run, and to kick things off, they’ll air a special preview of the series on July 22nd at 8:15pm.

“The talented artists featured in Sisterhood of Hip Hop are vibrant characters that will resonate with Oxygen’s young, female viewers,” said Rod Aissa, SVP, Original Programming and Development, Oxygen Media. “The optimistic and empowering nature of the show is truly unique and we look forward to rooting for each woman’s success and giving fans the opportunity to follow along on their journey.”

The series is executive produced by Grammy winner T.I., Christian Sarabia, Rabih Gholam, and Roy Orecchio.

Sisterhood of Hip Hop Cast:

BIA

A breaking new artist from Miami who sacrificed everything to follow her dreams and better learn her craft from Famlay and Pharrell, Bia is the new girl on the scene. Ever since she was in a life-threatening motorcycle accident, Bia has taken life by the bullhorns and refused to let go. She’s dropped everything for her music and is confident it will pay off. Being on Pharrell’s team has allowed her to be in the right place at the right time landing placements with TI, Jennifer Hudson, and Usher.

Although she has gained the respect of Pharell’s co-sign, Bia knows that all eyes are on her and she’s got to deliver. Rarely do you get more than one shot – especially as a female emcee in this industry.

BRIANNA PERRY

Brianna Perry has been around the music business for as long as she can remember and is ready to show the world what a lifetime of hip hop education can do for your career. Brianna’s skills have been recognized by top artists like Beyoncé, Trina and Missy Elliot and she’s been praised by press outlets such as The New York Times, Time Magazine, Complex, Vibe, The Source, XXL, and The Miami Herald for her unorthodox style.

Brianna is going to do more than tell the world what she is capable of, she is going to show them with her debut album. The gorgeous MC has charisma, style, and even dance skill to go along with her lyrical talent. Describing her own music as “refreshing, young and relatable to her fans,” Brianna is restoring innocence to the female rap game and she refuses to compromise the femininity and the edge she needs to survive in today’s hip hop world.

DIAMOND

Diamond enjoyed the sweet taste of success at age 14 with her former crew, Crime Mob, whose track “Knuck If You Buck” went platinum in 2004. Signed to King Of Crunk mentor Lil Jon’s label BME, the group’s success continued with the singles “Rock Yo Hips ft Lil Scrappy” and “Stilettoes.” Since leaving Crime Mob in 2007 to strike out on her own, she has worked with hip hop luminaries such as Ludacris, Trina, Eve, Nikki Minaj, Waka Flocka Flame and Gucci Mane. Her singles “Lotta Money” and “Loose Screws” left enough of an impression to make her a nominee for “Best Female Hip Hop Artist” at the 2011 and 2012 BET Awards.

In 2014, she signed to Polo Grounds Music joining a roster that includes Pitbull & A$AP Rocky, and with the release of her debut solo album this year, Diamond hopes to climb back to the top of the charts, a decade after Crime Mob made waves in the hip hop scene.

NYEMIAH SUPREME

Jamaica, Queens native Nyemiah Supreme began her career as a back-up dancer in the shadows of such well-known acts as Chris Brown and Lil Mama. After high school, she spent a year and a half working as Juelz Santana’s intern, where she got to see some of hip hop’s most notable names drop beats and rhymes in a studio setting. Inspired by her experience and a serendipitous encounter with Jim Jones, she got a break when she was asked to step up to the mic on Jones’ single “Everybody Jones.” In late 2012, Nyemiah had a late-night chance studio meeting with super producer Timbaland, where he put her on the spot to write a few verses and from there took her under his wing.

Today, Nyemiah has two mix-tapes under her belt, a new EP, and over half a million views on her YouTube videos. She released her single, “Rock ‘n’ Roll” with Timbaland appearing on the hook, handling the production, and appearing in the video back-to-back with Nyemiah. A former background dancer thrust to the foreground, Nyemiah Supreme stands a serious chance of having a career that lives up to her bold moniker but has a lot to prove to herself, her mentor and her fans.

SIYA

Born in California and raised in Bed-Stuy, a legendary Brooklyn hotbed of influential hip hop music, Siya overcame many challenges early on including a drug-addicted mother and incarcerated father, as well as her own run-ins with the law. Siya’s true support came from her grandmother who took her in, but also from the streets of Bed-Stuy. Music became an outlet for her and after moving to Atlanta to pursue her dream, she eventually built a rep for herself and caught the attention of many major labels and well-known artists.

While some people in the industry were afraid of how an openly gay female rapper would fit in the genre, Siya remained determined and refused to compromise who she is, always staying true to her own unique voice and style. One of Complex magazine’s rappers to watch out for in 2012, word around the industry is that Siya is the next big thing.

The Plot:

This new series gives viewers a behind-the-scenes look at the music business and what happens when women want to change the game to root for each other and not against each other. Despite the sacrifices they often make in their personal lives, these “femcees” are determined to succeed, but not at the cost of the sisterhood they have built while overcoming the barriers and challenges that come with a rise to stardom.

It’s who we are,” stated Marc Roberge of O.A.R. “We had the chance to meet amazing people building Habitat for Humanity homes in LA, pouring love and sweat into the foundation, taking pride in the work they were doing, alongside the Habitat partner family, and it was an honor to be a part of that.
