Jost and Chun Bypass Studios With New Sitcom '6 Bed 1 Bath'

Financed by Revue through brand partnerships, the series will be released on free ad-supported platforms to preserve creator control.

Overview

  • The six-episode sitcom 6 Bed 1 Bath, created by Colin Jost and Danny Chun, recently wrapped production in New York City and was announced Thursday.
  • Revue Studios provided upfront financing and production infrastructure while CAA Entertainment Partnerships and brand deals helped fund the project.
  • The creators and producers chose this brand-supported route so Jost and Chun could retain full creative control rather than sign with a major studio or subscription streamer.
  • The series will be made available on free, ad-supported video-on-demand platforms such as Tubi, Pluto TV and The Roku Channel instead of behind a paywall.
  • The project reunites Jost and Chun from their Harvard Lampoon days and features Scarlett Johansson and Andrew Singer among the executive producers, offering an early example of an independent, creator-first model for TV comedy.
