File this one under: Shows You Should Be Watching. For the past two years, Peacock has been home to Killing It, one of the top sleeper comedies of the Streaming Overload Era (So many shows! So many outlets!). And it’s time you got hip to it. Created by Dan Goor and Luke Del Tredici, who previously cracked us up with Brooklyn Nine-Nine, this offbeat little gem is weird, smart and funny Af. It also has a heart as big as star Craig Robinson‘s smile when he talks about it with us in this recent chat. Peacock Robinson stars as Craig Foster, an aspiring entrepreneur who, in the first season, entered a python-hunting competition to cull the invasive snakes from the Florida Everglades (it’s a real thing!). Hoping to score the seed money for his ultimate dream of getting into the saw-palmetto supplement industry, Craig wound up partnering...

Though less obvious about it than some other streaming services, Peacock has been churning out some of the best TV of the year. On the heels of Emmy-nominated series “Poker Face” and “Mrs. Davis” comes the return of Craig Robinson’s comedy “Killing It.” The show stars Robinson and Claudia O’Doherty as Craig and Jillian, two underdogs who team up to kill snakes to win prize money, a real thing that happens in Florida as a means of protecting the ecosystem from invasive pythons.
In Season 2, which is now streaming, the pair’s talent for killing snakes leads to the realization of Craig’s dream: owning a saw palmetto farm, which he hopes will give him the means to become a mogul. The comedy, which hails from “Brooklyn Nine-Nine’s” Dan Goor and Luke Del Tredici, is as endearing as it is biting as it takes on issues of class...

In these dark times in which we live, the line between satire and horror can be so razor-thin as to barely exist at all. Peacock’s Craig Robinson comedy Killing It is ostensibly a comedy about how badly the American economic system is stacked against anyone who isn’t already well-off. But its humor is so cutting, and so often feels not that far removed from reality, that I often spend more time covering my face during episodes than laughing.
This is not a complaint, mind you. The series, created...

When "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" writer Vanessa Ramos' brand new Netflix series hit the streamer earlier this month, the world thought it was odd that "Blockbuster," a story based on the world's last video store that Netflix popularly put out of business, would find a place on it. Viewers are undoubtedly familiar with the irony of Netflix making a show about their former competitor available to the rest of the world. Ramos knows it too.
"Blockbuster" star and "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" veteran Melissa Fumero and "Fresh Off The Boat" star Randall Park play the leading roles in the series as the employees of the last Blockbuster video store in the United States who fight to keep the store relevant. /Film's Valerie Ettenhofer, in her review of "Blockbuster," described the series as "a bizarrely dissonant look at late capitalism" and that its wacky humor makes it an enjoyable network-style sitcom to watch.

The night before HBO’s “Somebody Somewhere” was set to shoot an episode revolving around a tornado, a real one came close to the show’s set. “Somebody Somewhere” star Bridget Everett recounted to Variety‘s Awards Circuit podcast how life imitated art that day, and vice versa.

But it was important to me that it felt like a real tornado, because I’m from Kansas, and I know what that shit looks and feels like.”

It also includes a new film from one of Texas’s greatest filmmakers. Let’s start with that.

Peacock has shared the first look at its new upcoming comedy series “Killing It,” streaming this April.
Created by “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” producers Dan Goor and Luke Del Tredici, “Killing It” stars Craig Robinson as Craig, a man who competes in a state-sponsored python hunt in his quest to achieve the American Dream. The series co-stars Stephanie Nogueras as Craig’s ex-wife Camille, Jet Miller as his pre-teen daughter Vanessa and Rell Battle as his younger brother Isaiah. Claudia O’Doherty, Scott Macarthur and Wyatt Walter round out the cast.
“We love all the ambitious, challenging, thematically-rich series that populate the current peak-tv landscape,” said Goor in a statement. “We also love jokes.

Really, really funny. Plus, we wanted it to have big snakes.

NBC is giving the final run of “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” an Olympics-sized lead-in. NBC said Friday morning that the final 10-episode season of the cop comedy will premiere in August during Tokyo Olympics.
The Games, which were postponed by a year due to the Covid-19 pandemic, are scheduled for July 23-Aug. 8. Japan is dealing with another surge of the virus, though officials are confident the Games can be held safely.
“Brooklyn Nine-Nine” last aired in early 2020.
The upcoming finale will mark the second ending for “Brooklyn Nine-Nine,” following its brief cancellation by Fox after Season 5. NBC then picked up the show amid a fan campaign to save the series.
The series was supposed to return last fall to finish its run. Star Terry Crews has said the show’s writers chose to start from scratch on the new season after public outcry over the death of George Floyd at the hands of police.

NBC has revealed that the Andy Samberg-fronted police comedy will be ending during the 2021-22 broadcast season, bringing its fairytale resurrection to a close.
The show, produced by Universal Television, originally ran for five seasons on Fox before it was cancelled but NBC picked up the show for a sixth season that aired in 2019. Season seven aired in spring 2020 and the eighth season was renewed three months before season seven premiered.
Production on season eight, which will be comprised of ten episodes, was hit by the pandemic but Samberg said that he expects them to be back on set “fairly soon”. The earliest the show will return is fall 2021, meaning that the comedy will not have aired a season during the 2020-21 season.

It seems NBCUniversal likes being in business with the show’s executive producers Dan Goor and Luke Del Tredici, because […]

NBC has handed an early renewal to “Brooklyn Nine-Nine.”
Season 7 of the cop comedy isn’t set to premiere until Feb. 6 2020, but the network has already seen fit to order an eighth season.
During season 6 (its first on NBC after being canceled by Fox in 2018), “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” averaged a 1.2 rating and 3.2 million viewers overall in Live+Same Day ratings, according to Nielsen, which was up 15% in total sets of eyeballs versus the prior season on Fox.
After 35 days of linear and digital delayed viewing last season, the show grew to a 3.1 rating in 18-49 and 6.4 million viewers overall, according to NBC.
“Brooklyn Nine-Nine” stars Andy Samberg, Andre Braugher, Terry Crews, Melissa Fumero, Stephanie Beatriz, Joe Lo Truglio, Dirk Blocker and Joel McKinnon Miller. Many fans were sad to see the back of Chelsea Peretti, who exited the show in the fourth episode of season 6.
