Freeform will jump into the late-night waters in May with a weekly series starring comedian Iliza Shlesinger.

 The series, Truth & Iliza, will debut May 2 and feature Shlesinger as she focuses each episode around a themed question which she will seek to answer using audience interaction, field pieces, commentary and jokes, said network officials.

Executive producers for Truth & Iliza include Shlesinger, Jon Thoday, Richard Allen-Turner, David Martin, Kara Baker and Kim Gamble, said the network.  

 “At Freeform, we are committed to introducing culturally important narratives and voices to our viewers,” said Karey Burke, executive vice president, Programming and Development, Freeform. “Iliza is one of those voices and we can’t wait to bring her fearless, yet brilliantly funny social commentary and wit to our audience.”

Freeform will dip its toe into the late night waters with the development of a new show starring comedian Iliza Shlesinger.

The show, currently in development, will feature “Iliza’s unique voice that reflects the audience and what’s happening in the moment with a fresh comedic spin,” said network officials.

Shlesinger, Jon Thoday, Richard Allen Turner, David Martin and Kara Baker from Avalon Television (Last Week Tonight with John Oliver and Catastrophe) will all serve as executive producers of the show, said Freeform.
