Go90 gets Talking again

Now We’re Talking

US telecoms giant Verizon has ordered an extended second season of live-action sports-themed comedy Now We’re Talking for its digital service Go90.

The 8×22′ second run is being produced by Warner Bros Television Group’s digital studio Blue Ribbon Content and Uninterrupted, the prodco founded by basketball star LeBron James and Maverick Carter.

The show, which will become available next year, has been created and written by Tommy Dewey (Casual) and Tug Coker (The Office), who also executive produces and stars. It follows two former professional American football quarterbacks as they become broadcasters.

Earlier this year, Go90 revamped its programming strategy and appointed the former head of alternative programming at CBS, Chris Castallo, to oversee development.
