DESCRIPTION:
(from Quibi's press release, May 2020) Quibi today ordered critically-acclaimed sketch series 'ALTERNATINO' from series creator, writer and star Arturo Castro ('Broad City,' 'Narcos,' 'Flipped') and Comedy Central Productions. Season one of 'ALTERNATINO' debuted on Comedy Central in June 2019, receiving praise from critics and breaking through the cultural zeitgeist with highly-viewed sketches showcasing a provocative, unique voice in the comedy landscape. Among the standouts from the first season are "Welcome to America," about a student in a class of recent immigrants trying to wrap his head around the reality of tragedy, and "What the Sex Talk Looks Like Now. "A Sick Child's Dying Wish," was recently named one of the 50 best sketches of the decade by Vulture. "I'm thrilled to launch Alternatino in this exciting new platform while being able to remain a part of the Comedy Central family. I'm also thrilled about the churro truck they offered as part of the deal. Thanks Quibi! Mmm...churros," said series creator and star Arturo Castro. |
