It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia has run more episodes than any other live-action sitcom, but did you know that the series would’ve been canceled after Season One if not for Danny DeVito? The legendary actor’s character, Frank Reynolds, joined the group of friends from Season 2, where he was introduced as the father of Kaitlin Olson and Glenn Howerton’s characters.

Rob McElhenney’s series is often compared in style to Seinfeld, but this show doesn’t hesitate to go into darker territories when it comes to the humor. It came as a surprise to the writers and the rest of the cast when a star like DeVito was ready to push the boundaries.

When DeVito was presented with the most unhinged script for the series as a joke, the Batman villain actor didn’t resist or ask any questions.

The Original Queen of TikTok Loren Gray admits to some serious LOLs while filming her first movie role in Incoming, Netflixs hilarious high school romp. As Katrina, the singer/actress/social media influencer was jazzed to play a popular high schooler, but she had to draw from her research of iconic drunk scenes from a hit film to help her shoot a sprawling house party scene, which finds her ultimately binging on Taco Bell while being driven home by two nerdy escorts.

I definitely had some personal experiences to pull from, Gray admitted to MovieWeb in a recent interview about the Netflix hit. Right before that movie, I was like a Taco Bell fiend. I went through three months when I pretty much ate Taco Bell every single day. After I filmed that [drunk] scene, I have not had Taco Bell since. One too many loaded burritos during the shoot perhaps?...

Singer and actress Loren Gray, dubbed The Original Queen of TikTok, has become a mega social media influencer with more than 80 million followers online. Her TikTok account alone has 53.7 million followers and 3 billion likes. But the star of Netflixs new house party comedy, Incoming, recently admitted to MovieWeb that there was another influencer who informed her own choices when it came to pursuing a music career: Taylor Swift.

Several years ago, Gray landed a spot in Swifts music video for The Man, which also featured a cameo from Dwayne The Rock Johnson. During the shoot, Gray was emerging as a social media darling. She said Swift took time out to talk to her, noting, The first thing she told me was not to listen to anybody else when it comes to your project, your creativity, and your art because you know the best and you know your audience the best.

Dave and John Chernin are taking audiences back to the time of R-rated teen comedies with Incoming. The sibling creative duo first kicked off their career as both writers and executive story editors on the long-running comedy It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, having worked on 30 episodes of the hit show, ranging from "The Gang Goes to the Jersey Shore" and "Mac and Dennis Buy a Timeshare", among others. They also went on to create the Fox sitcom, The Mick, which was led by Sunny star Kaitlin Olson and ran for two seasons.

With Incoming, the Chernins are making their feature directorial debut and telling the story of Benj, a high school freshman who, with his friends Eddie, Connor and Koosh, anxiously kick off their high school experience by going to a party thrown by Koosh's older brother. While there, Benj looks to...

How often do you come across a decent explicit teen comedy that would leave you with your jaw on the floor? We are not talking about the American Pie movies where actors in their twenties act like high schoolers navigating through puberty, adolescence, and attraction towards men or women. The new Netflix film named Incoming forays into teen comedy that attempts to be funny and will likely keep you engaged till the end. It will enrage you as well, but how often do we come across such films that are completely unabashed? Dave Chernin and John Chernin’s comedy drama film was released on the streaming platform on August 23, 2024.

This ninety-one-minute-long film has a title that has no connection to the content or the events of the film. As high school is about to start, Benjamin, aka Benji, can’t wait for the new year at school, while his friends Eddie,...

Comedies focused on teenage hijinks and keg parties have been a mainstay since the 1980s. You can learn a lot about a generation in their party movies. Incoming hopes to join the ranks of Superbad, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, and Bottoms. Instead, it lands with a resounding thud, making it one of the worst modern attempts at crafting a raunchy high school flick.

Incoming – The Plot

Over the summer, Benj Nielsen (Mason Thames) hung out with his sister’s friend Bailey (Isabella Ferreira). While Bailey is older, Benj believes he has a chance to hook up with the girl he’s loved his whole life. When his friend Koosh (Bardia Seiri) gets their friend group invited to a party (hosted by Koosh’s older brother), Benj seizes his chance. With their other friends, Connor (Raphael Alejandro) and Eddie (Ramon Reed), the four freshmen hope to change their high school fate.

Incoming fails to make viewers invested in characters due to a lack of depth and compelling motivations. The movie emphasizes nostalgic elements over establishing a contemporary connection with Gen-z audiences. Incoming's absurd humor is not fully developed, leaving the film feeling disjointed and failing to justify its outlandish choices.

Netflix's newest foray into teen comedies, Incoming (2024) , harkens back to the golden age of high school party flicks but does little to subvert the well-worn genre. Written and directed by two veterans of TV comedy, Dave and John Chernin, in their feature debut, it's obvious the sibling duo grew up watching classic films set in high school. The movie follows a group of freshmen boys in their first week of high school and the rager they get invited to. Starring Mason Thames as Benji, the lovable but boring protagonist, Incoming has funny moments, but it never hits its stride.

Incoming (2024)

Director John Chernin,...

“Incoming” is a movie written and directed by Dave Chernin and John Chernin. It stars Mason Thames, Ramon Reed, Raphael Alejandro and Isabella Ferreira.

If we were to delve into the cinematic landscape of the past century and disregard the quality in favor of sheer volume, the genre of “teen comedies” would undoubtedly emerge as a dominant force in film production. These films are low-cost ventures, boast consistent audience appeal, and achieve financial success without demanding significant artistic risk. The formula is simple and repetitive; producers can churn out a film nearly identical to its predecessors and successors because the audience rarely invests enough attention to notice the similarities.

This pattern holds true for “Incoming”: it is yet another movie centered on adolescents navigating their freshman year of high school. The narrative is infused with the turbulence of raging hormones, the yearning to connect with the opposite sex, and...

“You’ve gotta go with a Cheesy Gordita Crunch,” Dave Chernin says as he scrolls through the options on the digital kiosk at a Taco Bell Cantina in Chelsea. “I’m ordering one for you too, “ he assures John Chernin, his older brother (by 15 months) and writing and directing partner.

The siblings are in New York City to promote “Incoming,” a high school comedy about four nerdy friends that’s a raunchy throwback to movies — like “Superbad” and “American Pie” — that topped the box office back before superhero flicks subsumed Hollywood. And yes, the Chernins know there’s more authentic Mexican food to be had in the neighborhood, but we’re thinking outside the bun as a tribute to an outrageous scene in their R-rated film. It’s one that finds two freshmen (Ramon Reed and Raphael Alejandro) taking an intoxicated older classmate (Loren Gray) on a chalupa run. Given...

Incoming, the coming-of-age high school comedy is set to debut in a month, and of course, fans cant wait to get the party started! Luckily, Netflix has just released an all-new trailer for the movie, highlighting more than enough fun to go around. Written and directed by The Chernins, Dave Chernin and John Chernin (Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia), who love high school comedies, Incoming promises no dull moment and, as seen in the trailer below, no high school comedy is complete without a disaster.

Netflix has just released the trailer for the new raunchy high school comedy from the Chernin brothers — Dave Chernin and John Chernin — who are veterans of irreverent shows It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia and the tragically cut-short Fox sitcom The Mick.

The cast includes Mason Thames, Ramon Reed, Raphael Alejandro, Isabella Ferreira, Bardia Seiri, Loren Gray, Ali Gallo, Scott MacArthur, Thomas Barbusca, Kim Hawthorne, Victoria Moroles, Kayvan Shai, with Kaitlin Olson and Bobby Cannavale.

The short but sweet synopsis reads,

“Incoming is the story of one night in the life of a group of high school freshmen, the party they crash, and the chaos that ensues.”

Dave and John Chernin write and direct the film. The producers on the movie include Nicholas Stoller, Conor Welch, Todd Garner, Mark Korshak, Gary Barber, Peter Oillataguerre, Peter Principato and Ben Silverman.

"This isn't just a party... this is our future!" Netflix has unveiled an official trailer for a party movie comedy called Incoming, arriving to watch on Netflix streaming later this summer. It's set for an end-of-summer release just before all the kids go back to school. Four freshmen are faced with the greatest challenge for their young lives: their first high school party. Directed by brothers John and Dave Chernin (of "The Mick" series), Incoming is full of all kinds of wild & crazy things going down. Creating their own party comedy, the Chernins add: "We landed on the title of Incoming and realized, 'Oh, this is four freshmen having this weird early-life identity crisis.' That kind of became the engine..." This stars Mason Thames as Benj, Ramon Reed as Eddie, Raphael Alejandro as Connor, Isabella Ferreira as Bailey, Bardia Seiri as "Koosh", Loren Gray, Ali Gallo, Scott MacArthur, Thomas Barbusca,...

Netflix has snapped up rights to Incoming, a comedy written and directed by The Mick creators Dave Chernin and John Chernin, in their feature debut.

Tom Allen & Jt Parr, the pair behind viral comedy Chad Goes Deep, have teamed up with The Mick creators John & Dave Chernin to develop an animated comedy for Hulu.

The streamer has handed the Untitled Parr & Allen Animated Project a script and visual development commitment. 20th Century Fox Television, which produces animated series Solar Opposites for Hulu, is the studio.

The show follows two perpetually stoked surfer bros born ahead of their time try to navigate teenage life in Ancient Greece while showing their Greek God dads that there is more than one way to be a legend.

Nicholas Frenkel, Luke Dillon, Luke Maxwell (3Arts) and Trevor Rotenberg also exec produce.

The as yet untitled project sees the duo team with “The Mick” creators John and Dave Chernin, who will serve as showrunners and executive producers.

Fox may have cancelled The Mick, but what would have happened if it was renewed? Recently, creators John and Dave Chernin spoke with TVLine about their ideas for season three.

When Fox canceled “The Mick” (for reasons that are still unclear to everyone who likes quality comedy programming) fans were left with a devastating cliffhanger that now may never be resolved.

As you’ll remember, but may want to forget, the Season 2 finale (and now series finale) ended with Mickey (Kaitlin Olson) and the gang huddled around an unconscious Sabrina (Sofia Black-d’Elia), right after she had been electrocuted in a freak accident after her high school graduation. When they receive the news that the teen’s cognitive ability and/or motor functions could be forever damaged, they all stand there silently pondering what that will mean.

But co-creators Josh and Dave Chernin weren’t too concerned about wrapping up the sophomore run in such a dark way, as they thought they’d be renewed. Oops.

For fans of The Mick, the only thing more devastating than the Fox comedy’s recent cancellation was the cliffhanger that brought the series to a close.

A refresher: The finale ended with Mickey and the gang huddled around a freshly electrocuted Sabrina, reeling from the news that the accident could have affected her cognitive ability and/or motor functions. It was a dark way to end the season, even for a show that once blew up an old lady with her own oxygen tank, but the show’s creators stand by it — mostly because they weren’t expecting to be cancelled.

“The Last Man on Earth” has been canceled after four seasons at Fox, Variety has confirmed.

From writer-producer Will Forte and directors-producers Christopher Miller and Phil Lord, “The Last Man on Earth” centered on a small group of survivors of a deadly virus. It starred Forte, Kristen Schaal, January Jones, Mel Rodriguez, Mary Steenburgen and Cleopatra Coleman.

Produced by 20th Century Fox Television, the series was executive produced by Forte, Lord, Miller, Seth Cohen, Erik Durbin and Tim McAuliffe.

Fox has also canceled “The Mick” after two seasons.

The single-camera dysfunctional family comedy followed Kaitlin Olson as the titular Mickey, a woman stuck raising her spoiled niece and nephews after their parents are arrested for defrauding the IRS. Sofia Black-d’Elia, Thomas Barbusca, Jack Stanton, Carla Jimenez and Scott MacArthur also starred.

The series was created by John Chernin and Dave Chernin. They executive produced the comedy alongside Olson, Nicholas Frenkel,...

A little more than a year after a hot start last midseason, Fox’s comedy series The Mick is getting a cancellation. The network has opted not to order a third season of the show starring It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia‘s Kaitlin Olson.

The network today also canceled The Last Man on Earth and Brooklyn Nine-Nine.

Fox brass had been firmly behind The Mick from the get-go, launching the series, created by John and Dave Chernin, behind an NFL double-header on Sunday and then giving it another special Sunday airing behind The Simpsons‘ first-ever one-hour episode. Three episodes into The Mick‘s 13-episode freshman run, the network gave the series an order for four additional episodes, which was followed by an early Season 2 renewal.

But the comedy mostly fizzled in its second season, averaging a 1.2 adults 18-49 in Live+7, on par with Brooklyn Nine Nine (1.3), The Last Man...

Fox premiered three new comedies last season, renewed The Mick and cancelled the other two. Although its total audience size landed in the bottom half of the network's 2016-17 series, The Mick TV show's 18-49 demo ratings were a top-ten performer and are likely why it was the sole surviving newbie sitcom. Can it build up its audience in the second season? Will The Mick be cancelled or renewed for season three? Stay tuned. From creators Dave Chernin and John Chernin, The Mick stars Kaitlin Olson, Sofia Black-d’Elia, Thomas Barbusca, Jack Stanton, Carla Jimenez, and Scott MacArthur. In the first season on Fox, grifter Mickey (Olson) was left to care for her sister's spoiled little rich kids in affluent Greenwich, Connecticut. Season two finds Mickey in it for the long haul.

Fox is giving another vote of confidence to new comedy series The Mick, handing the midseason entry an early Season 2 renewal, the first freshman Fox series to get a pickup for next season.

Fox had been firmly behind The Mick from the get-go, launching the series starring Kaitlin Olson behind an NFL double-header on Sunday and then giving it another special Sunday airing behind The Simpsons‘ first-ever one-hour episode. Three episodes into The Mick‘s 13-episode freshman run, the network gave the series an order for four additional episodes.

The football-boosted premiere of The Mick on Jan. 1, drew a 3.7 Live+same day rating among Adults 18-49, the highest-rated comedy debut on Fox since New Girl, with the post-Simpsons airing logging a 1.7. In its regular Tuesday slot, The Mick started with a 1.3 (L+Sd) and has settled into the 1.0-1.1 adults 18-49 L+Sd range in the past five airings.
