Exclusive: Chris Diamantopoulos, who starred in HBO’s Silicon Valley and is currently on Peacock’s Mrs. Davis, has co-created and is set to star in a new family comedy series that is being taken out to market.
Diamantopoulos has teamed up with Aircraft Pictures and Untitled Entertainment, which also reps him, for half-hour series Mapletown. The producers have set the project up in Canada and are preparing to shop for a U.S. partner.
Set on a small Canadian island, the series follows the brilliant teenage mayor who, after being elected to run her hometown of Mapletown, asks her opponent, the smart middle-aged Detwile (Diamantopoulous) to be her Chief of Staff.

NBC’s midseason Sunday lineup is starting to take shape with reality series Weakest Link and Canadian medical drama Transplant making their Season 2 debuts on the night March 6 at 9 Pm and 10 Pm, respectively.
The network introduces a new Sunday schedule following the end of Sunday Night Football. This year, the launch of the new lineup, which will include a third series airing at 8 Pm, is being delayed by NBC’s coverage of the Super Bowl and the Winter Olympics.
Last season, NBC also started its midseason Sunday schedule with a game show at 9 Pm (Ellen’s Game of Games), followed by an hourlong scripted series at 10 Pm (Good Girls).
Transplant was originally acquired by NBC in the early months of the pandemic and was deployed in fall 2020 when all U.S. series had been delayed by Covid. Against atypical competition, the medical drama ranked as the #2 new drama in the...

I'll be honest, I can't say I'll miss Pawter's folks even though they went out heroes.
Both teams spent time with their wretched parents, but we quickly realized the elders were being tough attempting to make their kids stronger. Was the time wasted worth it though? Killjoys Season 2 Episode 5 proved there's always room for forgiveness.
There were so many great comedic moments here. Man, I just love Johnny Jaqobis.

Sure, I realize the Killjoys still have to chase warrants while piecing together the larger mysteries of the Quad, but man those "voice-box" Skeever dudes were just plain nasty. Weren't they?
I was hoping this installment might pick up with Khlyen and Fancy Lee, but I guess they had to get the action sequence out of the way early.
Since Johnny's scenes were going to take place on Qresh with Pawter and her parents, I was...
