TBS has greenlit a new comedy series, Kill the Orange-Faced Bear, starring Damon Wayans Jr.

The comedy series follows one man’s epic revenge journey after a bear eats his girlfriend, said the network. Along with Wayans, the series stars Jessy Hodges, Alex Karpovksy and Nate Torrence. Also lending their voices to the series are Sarah Silverman, Nicole Byer and Sam Richardson. 

The series is executive produced by Wayans, Romanski, Trevor Engelson, Steven Fisher, Alex Karpovsky and Jake Szymanski.

“I’ve loved the idea for Kill the Orange-Faced Bear from the minute we heard the pitch and felt that it was a dead center shot at the target of popular absurdist humor we’ve become known for,” said Brett Weitz, General Manager, TNT, TBS, and truTV in a statement.  

The network also announced a fourth season renewal for its comedy series Miracle Workers, starring Daniel Radcliffe and Steve Buscemi.

TBS has ordered a third season of comedy Miracle Workers. The new season will see cast members Daniel Radcliffe, Steve Buscemi, Geraldine Viswanathan and Karan Soni transported to the American Old West. 

Miracle Workers debuted in 2018. 

Set in 1844, the new season will follow an idealistic small-town preacher (Radcliffe) who teams up with an outlaw (Buscemi) and a liberated prairie wife (Viswanathan) to lead a wagon train west on the Oregon Trail. 

“Miracle Workers is a perfect example of the fun, escapist humor that we take pride in delivering to our viewers,” said Sam Linsky and Adrienne O’Riain, co-heads of scripted original programming for TBS, TNT and truTV. “We can’t wait to see how this incredibly dynamic cast and talented group of storytellers hilariously rewrite 19th century history.”

Dan Mirk and Robert Padnick will be showrunners. Mirk started at The Onion and has worked on Man Seeking Woman and Future Man. He was a writer and producer on the first two seasons of Miracle Workers. Padnick was president of the Harvard Lampoon. His TV credits include The Office, Man Seeking Woman and Great News. He was a writer on the first two seasons of Miracle Workers. 

“Getting to tell an entirely new story with this ludicrously talented cast each season is a dream come true,” said Mirk and Padnick. “We could not be happier that TBS has given us the reins on this unique and special show.”

Created by Simon Rich, Miracle Workers is executive produced by Lorne Michaels, Andrew Singer and Katy Jenson of Michaels’ Broadway Video, along with Radcliffe, Buscemi, Mirk and Padnick.

TBS has picked up a third season of its original comedy series The Last O.G., WarnerMedia said Wednesday at its upfront presentation.

The series, which stars Tracy Morgan and Tiffany Haddish, launched as cable’s most-watched new comedy in 2018 and the highest-rated cable comedy debut since 2015. The show currently reaches a multiplatform audience of 23 million viewers, according to TBS.

The network has also greenlighted a new unscripted series starring Full Frontal with Samantha Bee correspondent Amy Hoggart. The nonpolitical, untitled Amy Hoggart project will focus on everyday problems through Hoggart’s unique lens, according to the network.

In addition, TBS has ordered a second installment of Miracle Workers. The freshman series has reached a multiplatform audience of 26.4 million viewers across all TBS platforms, according to network officials.

WarnerMedia has also ordered a second season of its post-apocalyptic sci-fi series Snowpiercer prior to the series’ 2020 premiere on TBS (where it has moved from its original home, TNT). The series stars Jennifer Connelly and Daveed Diggs.

“Snowpiercer is the perfect show to kick off TBS’s entry into dramas with intricate storytelling, stunning visuals and first-class acting,” TBS and TNT general manager Brett Weitz said in a statement. “We believe in the longevity of this series and that audiences will be amazed by the fantastical world that brings to life such relevant social, political and environmental issues.”
