A comprehensive guide to every returning hit and upcoming comedy series heading to Netflix.
Thought would take a look at this. I’m looking at this for the first time returning Netflix comedy series. I’m not going to read everything here, just the ones that interest us.

Mystery Inc. Is heading back to live action for Netflix, but this time with a fresh, slightly darker modern twist. Just Don’t, Just Don’t.
Set during their final summer at camp, this eight episode, half hour reimagining follows old friend Shaggy and Daphne as they stumble into a haunting mystery involving a lost Great Dane puppy who may have just witnessed a supernatural murder. People are gonna watch that too. Oh my daughter will like this one. Untitled Hannah Burner and Page Disorbo comedy series’ set New York City, the single camera relationship comedy will star Hannah Burner in page two. Sorbo is fictionalized versions of themselves.
The series follows the two ultimate Wrider dies as they navigate city life, help each other, share their emotional baggage, and emerges the people they’ve always wanted to be. That reminds me so. My daughter’s in her mid twenties, and she obviously knows I host the podcast. She went out her way to tell me how much she like Mary Beth Baron’s special, and I’m like, yeah, that totally tracks. It’s not for me, it’s for you.
And since it’s for her, woman in her mid twenties, she liked it. I forgot to tell you that all week now, Netflix, is it really close to the vest with the stand up specials on Wikipedia? Here we are expecting Kelsey Cooks Happy Hour on August eighteenth and stamp Town on August twenty fifth. Nothing else actually on the schedule. They’ve announced in development untitled Bert Krascher Special, Gabe Leanne Morgan Magga, comedian Nateperghatzy, and Nimesh Patel.
No dates or any information on any of those. Earlier in the week, Rory Scolvel’s special came out. He got the big fancy interview with the Hollywood Reporter. That means his agent’s got it done and it means someone in high only what has decided it is Rory Scovell’s turn, which is why we bought Rory Scovell stock in the Comedy stock Market on Friday. We are told by the Hollood reporter the Mary, Dad and Sissy’s never come up with new material as swiftly and easily as he did in this special.
Rory says, it just kind of came together. He said, there was one brief period in the process where we watched the special, and of course I hated it, but that was before the edit. In the end, he’s proud of what he was able to pull off because it’s tighter and in his estimation punch here that is prior work. Rory says, it’s insane that it took me twenty years to learn how to edit, but better late than never. I am trying to avoid spoilers for the special.
Yeah, I’ll just stop talking there some I’m skipping some stuff. I don’t want to ruin it for you. I’ve read a few articles that have ruined it for me, so we’ll skip parts about the content. The Holid reporter asked Rory Scovell about the era of stand up where now Rory said, I think political identity is such a thing now in what we do, and I don’t know, it’s kind of like everybody’s got to pick a side to play to. I don’t necessarily love that people would go, oh, this is a liberal comic, or this guy, well it’s liberally so these will be his opinions or his takes.
I’d rather be me going, well, no, these are my takes, and whatever category they fall into is what they fall into. But I don’t want anyone to think I’m intentionally playing the left. It’s almost impossible for me to intentionally play to the right. It’s just not my soul to do it. But it isn’t like I sit here going I think the left is great, there’s nothing wrong with it.
I’d rather be like red and blue or all under a spell. So with this hour, it feels like I tiptoed in that a little bit to figure out how to do it in a bigger way in the future. There’s some political stuff in the special, Rory says. I know there’s gonna be a lot of people who turn it off, and there’ll be a lot of people that give me crap about it. But it’s like, well, if you can’t indle that you have no curiosity about what led me to that, I’m probably not your flavor anyway.
Minor spoiler. In the special, Rory jokes it’s good to be in a blue state, Washington, even if red states are more fun. Hother reporter guests, that’s a joke rooted in some truth. Rory said, I should maybe rephrase what I said. It’s not like I want to go in and be contentious.
What it meant is I didn’t want people to think, oh, you do it in a blue state because that feels safe. I do the same show wherever I am, and my expectation is that they should laugh at it because I think it’s really funny. But other people who do get offended or hate the show because of the politics, because they can’t look pass certain topics and opinions. And that’s why I addressed it in the show. I say, you’re gonna act like liberals, and I can’t tell jokes because that’s who we all say can’t take a joke.
I could tell you what it feels like when parts of the room don’t like it, and I tend to look in that direction a little more just to see maybe my energy needs to play to them, but what does it look like. Well, some people would get up and leave, which I get. I did the show in Wilmington, North Carolina, at a comedy club before I really started the tour, and I got ackled. I said something about Trump, and this guy goes, you really think Biden was better for us? And the whole audience goes, yes, he just got to watch this.
One guy be like, wait, everyone really does think that, and then the table got up and left on their own accord. Afterwards, someone was like, yeah, it was a convicted jan sixer at that table for real. I was like, that’s just proof that anyone will come to a show. They don’t need research. They’m gonna be like, Oh, what’s the comedy flavor?
It’s so baffling to me. Another minor spoiler, Rory jokes in the special comics we have to go red to make a little green, which is clearly a reference to the manosphere, says the Holly Reporter. Rory said, I don’t know if I have a relationship to it, and I think it was like, oh, there’s a lot of comics. I didn’t know we’re so politically on the rightabouts up until the atmosphere shifted, and I think that’s why it seems like a lot of them shifted towards that, because there was money to be had in it. Whether that’s true or not, I couldn’t tell you.
But if it is true, there’s just no integrity in that. I think I’d rather not gain some sort of massive audience and not make millions of dollars and retain my integrity, mainly because the rather my kids see that version of me a lot more Rory Skolhl stuff. I think we’ll save all that for at least tomorrow. The Mike Apps Festival is back for a third year. Hosted by Mike Abbs, the three day festival promises to bring live music, comedy, health and wellness to Indianapolis August twenty through the thirtieth.
Epp said in a statement, Indianapolis has supported me throughout my entire career. This festival is my opportunity to give back to the city that made me. It’s about bringing people together through comedy, music, culture, and community while creating opportunities that can make a lasting difference. Baranka Slowkowska, you know her from SNL and Shane Gillis Tires. She is going to start in Stephanie Bride to Be.
In Stephanie Bride to Be, Stephanie played by Slowakowska, is at her proposal party, which becomes a slow motion melt down while she waits for her boyfriend to arrive and pop the question. As Stephanie scrambles to keep the night for falling apart, she must gettend with her flighty parents played by Amy Sedaris and Michael Imperioli, which when I first read that, I was like, Wow, Michael Imperioli is playing a dad, And then I realized, oh, I’m a dad. Like, I don’t know why I feel like Michael Imperioli is too old to play a dad. I’m a dad. I have children in their mid twenties.
How was Imperioli now he’s sixty. Michael Imperioli is sixty. Do you feel old now because I just told you Michael Imperioli is sixty? Goes fast, people, Boy, it is really hot in the basement today. I gotta get a fan in here.
It’s a summer Sunday. Let’s do one more and go outside or something here will do this. When a stand up comedian says he’s confident he has a second world record. He’s trying to be verified for running the fastest half marathon while dressed as a microphone. Tan Hudson ran thirteen point one miles.
He already holds the record for fastest marathon by a man dressed as a microphone, but for the half he did it in one hour forty eight minutes. Not bad, he joked. I actually had the world record for fastest marathon dressed as a microphone, and I had to take that record off someone as well. I saw the half marathon on the calendar, I thought, eh, let’s do that to be a great one to try and get the world record, to be really crazy, not to take the double and get the fastest half marathon. The costume was made by a fellow comedian for him.
The run was documented by a friend who rang alongside him. Hudson said, sometimes someone will be running next to you for like twenty seconds trying to get my attention. I’d be like, oh, Hi, what do you want? He admits, my legs are always a bit sore after race like that, but I’m kind of used to it. It’s I can’t complain.
That is your comedy News on a summer Sunday. I’ll see tomorrow
