CBS All-Access to premiere new comedy ‘No Activity’

 CBS All Access will premiere its first original comedy series, “No Activity” on Sunday, November 12, the same night as the chapter one conclusion of “Star Trek: Discovery.” New episodes of “No Activity” will be available weekly on Sundays exclusively for CBS All Access subscribers.

“With ‘No Activity’ as CBS All Access’ first original comedy, we’re delivering our subscribers a new, premium series that continues to push artistic boundaries in interesting ways,” said Marc DeBevoise, President and Chief Operating Officer, CBS Interactive. “This is definitely not your average comedy; in addition to the all-star comedic cast, we have the incomparable creative team of Will Ferrell, Adam McKay and Funny Or Die behind the series who are innovators in their field and will undoubtedly keep viewers laughing each week.”

“No Activity” comes from Will Ferrell, Adam McKay and Funny Or Die and marks CBS All Access’ first original comedy. 

“No Activity” celebrates the mundane. Set against the world of a major drug cartel bust, the series follows two low-level cops who have spent far too much time in a car together; two criminals who are largely kept in the dark; two dispatch workers who haven’t really clicked; and two Mexican tunnelers who are in way too small a space considering they’ve only just met.

The cast of “No Activity” includes co-creator Patrick Brammall and Tim Meadows along with guest stars Mark Berry, Arturo Castro, Mackenzie Davis, Bridget Everett, Will Ferrell, Darren Gilshenan, Travis Guba, Jake Johnson, Sunita Mani, Jason Mantzoukas, Adrian Martinez, Jesse Plemons, Fred Pohl, Alex Rodriguez, Amy Sedaris, J.K. Simmons, Courtenay Taylor, Michaela Watkins and Daniel Zolghadri.

The show joins CBS All Access’ growing slate of original series which currently includes “The Good Fight,” returning for a second season in early 2018, and “Star Trek: Discovery,” which premiered last month and continues to roll out new episodes weekly on Sundays after 8:30 PM, ET. CBS All Access’ original series library will continue to expand with the additions of the previously announced “$1, Strange Angel” and additional programming to be announced.

CBS All Access is the CBS Television Network’s digital subscription video-on-demand and live streaming service.
