Launch dates for both series have yet to be announced. “’63rd Man’ hopes to use audio to give the listener that same feeling, while also being a funny character comedy.” “When we remember our favorite moments in sports, often the first things that come to mind are sounds: the announcers, the crowd, the buzzer,” said Tucker in a statement. The series revolves around a not-quite-pro-level college football star who “will take any tryout, exhibition or gig – no matter how suspect – in hopes of being noticed and getting onto an NFL roster.” “It just came off so well that as soon as we heard that Audible was going to be doing long-form originals, we started the conversations with them and have now come together to create a robust slate of original comedy series,” said von Schoeler.Īudible and Broadway Video’s second joint project is “63rd Man,” starring John Cena, written by “SNL” writer Bryan Tucker and Zack Philips, and produced by Austin Breslow. The Lorne Michaels-founded entertainment company has teamed up with Audible before, launching in 2016 a parody travelogue hosted by “Portlandia” star Fred Armisen, in character as Candace Deveraux. Broadway Video’s shows include “SNL,” “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” “Late Night with Seth Meyers,” “Miracle Workers,” “Portlandia,” “30 Rock” and others.
“We grew up playing music and doing voices together and we had the time of our lives using this medium to build a fantasy world that could be as big as we wanted it to be.”Īlthough Audible has previously developed comedic fiction and memoirs, this partnership marks the audiobook company’s first venture into long-form scripted comedy originals, according to Audible Originals’ editor-in-chief David Blum.Īnd comedy factory Broadway Video is an “ideal partner for us,” he said, as they experiment with new forms of immersive storytelling. “We’re so excited to collaborate with Audible and Broadway Video and be part of the recent explosion of audio,” said McKinnon and Lynne jointly via email.
Think Tim Gunn as the queen’s army general, Meryl Streep as an outspoken actress aiding the peasant rebellion, Audra McDonald as the queen’s frenemy, a flurry of McKinnon’s “SNL” castmates, the Fab Five from “Queer Eye,” plus Peter Dinklage as “a prince who has a bird fetish,” aka a love interest to Lynne’s character.
