The two-part season finale of Dropout’s hit game series “Game Changer,” originally scheduled to premiere on May 20, has been delayed “to allow for more time in the edit.”
On Monday, Sam Reich, host and Dropout CEO, announced on social media: “Scheduling Update: we’re pushing the 2-part Game Changer season finale to allow for more time in the edit. It’s one of the most complicated episodes we’ve ever done (you’ll see why). Part 1 will now launch on Dropout on June 3rd, and Part 2 on June 17th.”
Despite the delay, the sixth season, which featured seven episodes, surpasses the six-episode minimum requirement for submission for the outstanding game show category. According to current Emmy rules, the two-part finale will compete as part of the upcoming seventh season when it airs during the next eligibility window. This is consistent with other competition and game shows with multiple seasons competing as one,...

A new CBS sitcom from uber-producer Chuck Lorre is sparking controversy online well before it even hits air.
The Big Bang Theory producer’s midseason comedy United States of Al has raised red flags for its casting of a non-Afghan actor in the titular role of Al, and for the character’s general depiction. The series (which is currently set to premiere Thursday, April 1 at 9:30/8:30c) follows the relationship between a Marine combat veteran (Suburgatory‘s Parker Young) who returns to civilian life in Ohio along with his Afghan interpreter, Awalmir (Rules of Engagement‘s Adhir Kalyan), who...

A new mockumentary culinary series titled Gods of Food is set to premiere on subscription-based streaming service Dropout by CollegeHumor next month, the streamer announced today.
The six-episode season will skewer a range of fine dining tropes, that are all too familiar to fans of cooking shows.
The series was created and written by CollegeHumor cast member and head writer Rekha Shankar, who also serves as an executive producer.
“Cooking shows are one of my favorite things to watch,” said Shankar. “But while the most gorgeous food shows are full of love and passion, they can also be full of dysfunctional personalities and bizarre ideas. I hope Gods of Food resonates with foodies like me in that it’s full of beautiful food, but also pokes fun at some of the tendencies of culinary shows.”
The show stars Don Fanelli (Nightcap) as Anthony D’Anthony, Krizia Bajos (The Casagrandes) as Julia Splenderpoot,...

Hustle
Logline: “Hustle” is a series about two Woc best friends chasing their creative goals while battling the supervillains of racism and unequal opportunity. It’s like Scott Pilgrim meets freelance.
Elevator Pitch:
2 Woc, 1 bad system. These women are trying to level up in a world that’s unfair by design, so they think in terms of levels/achievements (shown via surreal video game sequences/sound effects). For example, if one character wants the last chair in a cafe, it’s not just a race for that chair – it’s a Mortal Kombat fight-to-the-death where...
