Fans of FOX’s ‘Empire’ are in for quite a treat with the return of the new episodes later in March.
Tracy Morgan is back with new show “The Last O.G.”
“The Last O.G.” is a comedy series co-produced by Morgan and Jordan Peele of Get Out fame. The show will premiere April 3rd on TBS.
According to TBS: The Last O.G. centers on Tray (Morgan), an ex-con shocked to see just how much the world has changed when he is released from prison for on good behavior after a 15-year stint. Returning to his newly gentrified Brooklyn neighborhood, he discovers that his former girlfriend, Shay (played by emerging, breakout star actress and comedian Tiffany Haddish), has married an affable, successful white man (Ryan Gaul) who is helping raise the twins (Taylor Mosby & Dante Hoagland) Tray never knew existed. Wanting nothing more than to connect with his kids, but having neither the money to support them nor himself, Tray falls back on the skills he learned in prison to make ends meet while treading on unfamiliar territory.
In addition, “The Last O.G.” also stars Cedric the Entertainer as the head of the halfway house where Tray is staying, and Allen Maldonado as Tray’s cousin Bobby.
The comedy-centric show doesn’t spare anything as far as we can tell. It’s obvious Morgan and Peele are a good match.
The trailer for “The Last O.G.” can be seen below. Further information regarding the show can be found here.
Dwayne Johnson announced his new show in collaboration with NBC called “Titan Games”
Johnson showcased ‘Titan Games’ alongside Dany Garcia, and according to NBC, will offer everyday people the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to compete in head-to-head challenges to reach your potential greatness.
The show was inspired by Johnson’s desire to motivate global audiences to reach their fullest potential, as the competition welcomes men and women who are strong enough to believe in themselves and simultaneously confident enough to test their own abilities by taking on physical challenges of epic proportions. “Titan Games” will not only test the competitors’ physical strength, but also their mental and emotional endurance. Taking place in a thrilling arena, determination will be rewarded as a new breed of heroes will emerge.
NBC states that: “in each episode, competitors from across America will step inside an electrifying arena and put themselves to the ultimate test by facing one of six reigning Titans. They will battle their opponents in remarkable feats that will require both mental stamina and physical strength.” ‘Titan Games’ will be 10 episodes long.
The trailer, shown below, depicts The Rock in his usual, body-building environment, promoting “Titan Games” as a revolution in the making.
