Inside Amy Schumer Returns for Season 5; Hulu's Koala Man Announces Additional Cast
Paramount+ released the official trailer for the fifth season of the Emmy(R) and Peabody(R) award-winning hit comedy sketch series Inside Amy Schumer. The first two episodes of the season are set to premiere on the service Thursday, Oct. 20, with the remaining three episodes dropping weekly exclusively on Paramount+ in the U.S. and rolling out internationally on the service in Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom. On Inside Amy Schumer, comedian Amy Schumer shares her real thoughts about our effed up world in short scenes with some other funny people. This season's sketches include "Colorado," "Home Spanx," "Gratitude," "Fart Park," "Second Amendment," "The Last Noelle" and "Flatuda," among others.
In addition to Schumer, season five features Amber Tamblyn, Bridget Everett, Cara Delevinge, Chris Parnell, Ellie Kemper, Jesse Williams, Laura Benanti, Michael Ian Black, Olivia Munn and Tim Meadows, and returning writers Christine Nangle, Tami Sagher, Jon Glaser and Jeremy Beiler. Meadows, Derek Gaines, Jaye McBride and Georgie Aldaco also join the writing staff this season. Paramount+ has already released two sketches from the new season, "Colorado" and "Home Spanx."
At New York Comic Con yesterday, October 6, we were on hand yesterday when Hulu paneled the upcoming original adult animated series Koala Man and announced the casting of Jemaine Clement, Rachel House, and Jarrad Wright with Miranda Otto and Hugo Weaving set to make guest appearances. Previously announced cast includes Hugh Jackman, Sarah Snook, Demi Lardner and creator Michael Cusack. The animated follows middle-aged dad Kevin and his titular not-so-secret identity, whose only superpower is a burning passion for following rules and snuffing out petty crime in the town of Dapto. Though it may seem like any other Australian suburb, forces of evil both cosmic and man-made lie in wait to pounce on unsuspecting Daptonians. On a quest to clean up his hometown, and often roping his frustrated family into his adventures, Koala Man stands at the ready. He'll do whatever it takes to defeat villainous masterminds, supernatural horrors, or worse: jerks who don't take their rubbish bins down on the proper days.
