by

As a seasoned cinephile with a penchant for all things quirky and comedic, I can hardly contain my excitement for HBO’s latest offering – It’s Florida, Man. With its star-studded cast, including the likes of Anna Faris, Jake Johnson, and the inimitable Randall Park, this unscripted late-night comedy series promises a wild ride through the Sunshine State’s most outrageous tales.

HBO has unveiled a new late-night comedy series titled “It’s Florida, Man,” which will be based on and explore some of the most intriguing Florida stories – known and unknown. The trailer hints at a star-studded journey with appearances from comedians like Jake Johnson, Anna Faris, and others. Interestingly, this series will be produced by the same team responsible for the popular HBO comedy show “The Righteous Gemstones.

From HBO’s announcement (and the preview trailer), it appears that the show “It’s Florida, Man” takes the wildest tales originating from the Sunshine State and infuses them with a touch of “Drunk History.” While the humor is drawn mainly from those famous “Florida man” headlines, the series goes beyond this to serve as an affectionate tribute to the people who populate Florida and its extraordinary stories. The show will incorporate reenactments by celebrity guest stars, alongside interviews with actual Floridians, reflecting this dedication.

This offbeat late-night comedy show brings to life extraordinary stories straight from Florida, as told by its residents themselves. Featuring conversations with ordinary Floridians and humorous reenactments starring various actors and comedians such as Anna Faris, Jake Johnson, Randall Park, Juliette Lewis, Sam Richardson, Ego Nwodim, and others, this side-splitting series provides a unique perspective on the state’s viral, wacky, and bizarre happenings. With topics ranging from mermaids to witches, extreme fantasies, and wild rabbits, IT’S FLORIDA, MAN. is an affectionate tribute to Florida’s beaches, swamps, and above all, its people.

In the series titled “Florida Man“, you’ll recognize a stellar lineup of comedy stars gracing your screen. Spanning six episodes, this comedic adventure boasts guest spots by big names such as Anna Faris, Randall Park, Jake Johnson, Jon Gries, Sam Richardson, Ego Nwodim, Juliette Lewis, Simon Rex, and others. Tune in to HBO starting October 18 for the premiere.

HBO is Dominating Comedy Right Now

The show titled “It’s Florida, Man” was developed by Mark Herwick and Jeff Tomsic, who have a history of creating television specials such as HBO’s “Metal Monsters: The Righteous Redeemer” and “Bert Kreischer: Razzle Dazzle.” In the comedy series, Danny McBride and Brandon James, known for their HBO projects like “The Righteous Gemstones” and “Eastbound & Down,” will serve as executive producers. The trailer for “It’s Florida, Man” suggests that the blend of reality TV and scripted comedy is a perfect fit. This isn’t the only innovative HBO series emerging from this genre; it’s just one of many exciting new offerings.

Following his successful role as star and producer on the Emmy-winning series “Barry”, actor/writer Bill Hader is poised to collaborate once more with scriptwriter Duffy Boudreau on a fresh comedy pilot for HBO. The network has already given a series greenlight to “The Chair Company”, a show created by Tim Robinson from “I Think You Should Leave”. HBO appears to be making a concerted effort to bolster its comedy lineup, particularly after the phenomenal success of “The Righteous Gemstones”. While HBO has long been a prominent player in television comedy, it is now attracting a new wave of creative talent to spearhead a new phase. Another example of this is the upcoming series “It’s Florida, Man”, which will air sooner rather than later.

It’s Florida, Man
premieres on HBO Friday, October 18.
