Exclusive: Netflix has picked up another installment of its popular multi-camera comedy series The Upshaws. The blue-collar sitcom created by Regina Hicks and Wanda Sykes has been renewed for a 10-episode fourth season.
After the 10-episode first season, Seasons 2 and 3 of The Upshaws have been released in two parts — of eight and six episodes each, respectively — so the renewal is for Part 6 of the series, as officially referred to by Netflix.
Production on the 10-episode new season, which will be released in one batch, will begin next year. The six-episode Part 5 of The Upshaws (second half of Season 3), is slated to premiere in spring 2024.
Somewhat flying under the radar, The Upshaws has been a sturdy performer for Netflix in a genre — multi-camera sitcom — that has been challenging for streamers. With the renewal, The Upshaws is tying The Ranch as the second-longest-running original multi-camera comedy on Netflix in number of seasons,...

In what reads like a hilariously grand idea, I've learned that veteran actress Jenifer Lewis, will star in and executive produce Ventura Boulevard, which Debbie Allen (also an industry veteran) is attached to direct, from a script penned by Mark Alton Brown and Dee Laduke, the same writing team behind Lewis' cult classic, Jackie’s Back! - the 1999 comedy directed by Robert Townsend, which chronicles the life and career of an R&B diva, who, after several years of toiling away in obscurity, decides to organize a comeback.Ventura Boulevard is described as a darkly comedic homage to the 1950 Billy Wilder classic Sunset Boulevard, starring Lewis as a...
