TBS Goes Straight to Series with Tracy Morgan Comedy

ATLANTA: TBS has given a straight-to-series pickup to a new comedy from Tracy Morgan (30 Rock).

The untitled series is being created and executive-produced by Jordan Peele (Key & Peele) and John Carcieri (Vice Principals). Morgan will also serve as executive producer. The series is produced by Studio T, TBS and TNT’s in-house production studio. The series’ premise begins when Tracy is released on good behavior from a 15-year prison stint and is shocked to see just how much the world has changed in his absence. TBS ordered ten episodes of this single-camera comedy series.

“Tracy and Jordan are two of today’s most sought-after and authentically funny comedians, and this show captures all the hilarity you would expect from this brilliant duo,” said Brett Weitz, the executive VP of programming for TBS. “TBS is becoming a home for the most creative and diverse comedy creators in the business, and Tracy and Jordan are a perfect fit for this network.”
