IMDb TV has unveiled three new original unscripted series, as well as a coming-of-age scripted show based on the New York Time<\/em>s best-selling memoir by Grammy-nominated recording artists Tegan and Sara Quin.<\/p>\n

Among the new unscripted titles is Luke Bryan: My Dirt Road Diary<\/em>, a five-part miniseries following the award-winning country music star. There is also Bug Out<\/em>, an unconventional true-crime docuseries from The Cinemart about a heist involving $50,000 worth of rare live insects from a Philadelphia bug zoo. A yet-to-be-titled Jeff Lewis project, marking the first streaming original home design series from the interior designer, will showcase unique designs, celebrity clientele and never-before-seen creative innovation. All three originals will air exclusively in the U.S. on IMDb TV, Amazon\u2019s premium free streaming service.<\/p>\n

Lauren Anderson and Ryan Pirozzi, co-heads of content and programming at IMDb TV, said: \u201cThese projects mark an impressive and exciting growth moment for IMDb TV. The caliber of talent and the variety of content is a brand hallmark for us as we look to diversify the entertaining and broadly appealing offerings available on the service. With My Dirt Road Diary<\/em> we look forward to delivering audiences this rare, intimate and never-before-seen look at what has shaped Luke as a husband, son, father, brother, uncle, artist and entertainer. With Bug Out<\/em>, we were enthralled by The Cinemart\u2019s captivating storytelling of the creepy, crawly underworld of exotic bug smugglers. The Cinemart is the best in the business when it comes to telling thoughtful, responsible yet entertaining real-life stories, and we can\u2019t wait for audiences to see this non-traditional true-crime series. And with Jeff Lewis, no interior designer is more well-known in equal parts for his stunning work and his brutally honest and often hilarious assessments of home renovation. Jeff\u2019s return to television will be one that cannot be missed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tegan and Sara\u2019s High School<\/em> will be executive produced by Clea DuVall, who will write and direct multiple episodes of the half-hour series from Amazon Studios and Plan B Entertainment. Told through a backdrop of \u201990s grunge and rave culture, the series weaves between parallel and discordant memories of twin sisters growing up down the hall from one another, telling a story of first loves and first songs.<\/p>\n

Tegan and Sara Quin said: \u201cWe are incredibly excited to be working with Lauren, Ryan and the fantastic IMDb TV team to bring High School<\/em> to life and apologize in advance to our mother for forcing her to relive this period of time with us again. We\u2019ve made casting suggestions on her behalf to the incomparable Clea DuVall and our wonderful partners at Plan B.\u201d<\/p>\n

Clea DuVall added: \u201cI am grateful to Plan B, Amazon Studios and IMDb TV for their partnership in bringing Tegan and Sara\u2019s beautiful and complex memoir to life.\u201d<\/p>\n

IMDb TV\u2019s Anderson and Pirozzi said: \u201cTegan and Sara\u2019s honest, vulnerable and deeply engaging memoir has captivated readers, and we look forward to their authentic voices and Clea\u2019s unique perspective being brought to life in this adaptation. We are thrilled to partner with Plan B Entertainment, Tegan and Sara and Clea DuVall on this nostalgic, coming-of-age series, which furthers our commitment to high-quality, compelling storytelling that resonates with IMDb TV viewers.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
