The comedian and co-star Chris Redd will be going back and forth from Los Angeles and New York to film both shows.

“We’ll see how exhausting it gets when it has to become a repeat kind of a thing but we did it for the Christmas show and me and Chris went out there on Friday and showed up at rehearsal that night and ended up doing the show and then we had three weeks off before we had to be on another job. It wasn’t that stressful but we’ll see how that turns around when it’s only one day in between, but I’ll be rushing back to my new family so I won’t be overly exhaustive because we’ll hold each other up.

Thompson said that the show, launching February 16, is the third iteration of the show. It was originally piloted in 2019 with Jackie Clarke writing and Chris Rock directing but was re-developed with David Caspe joining as showrunner and Clarke co-writing. Don Johnson also replaced Andy Garcia in the series.

The cast also talked about filming the show during the Covid-19 pandemic. The table reads were initially done over Zoom and Thompson said that made them “weird” and “choppy”.
