Netflix Sets New Sketch Comedy Series ‘The Characters’ For March

Netflix is adding a new sketch comedy series to its slate. Netflix Presents: The Characters features eight up-and-coming comedians who get the opportunity to create their own 30-minute episodes and do whatever they want. No rules. No limits. Each comedian writes and appears in his/her episode, presenting a series of sketches that veer from The Bachelor parodies to music videos to biblical spoofs — all in the name of outlaw comedy.

The Characters features Lauren Lapkus (Orange Is The New Black), Kate Berlant (The Meltdown), Dr. Brown (Dr. Brown), Paul W. Downs (Broad City), John Early (Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp), Tim Robinson (Saturday Night Live), Natasha Rothwell (SNL writer) and Henry Zebrowski (Heroes Reborn).

SNL’s Cecily Strong and Bobby Moynihan, Tyson Beckford and Broad City’s Abbi Jacobson also will appear in cameos. The Characters premieres March 11 on the streaming service. Check out the trailer above.
