The Summer of Satire Begins! ANOTHER PERIOD Premieres June 23, Exclusively on Much

 “There’s this mix of tones in terms of the comedy coming from this sort of reality show vibe and also this anachronistic thing that is going on, too. It’s also just really stupid at times.” – Ben Stiller

“ANOTHER PERIOD is a sort of DOWNTON ABBEY for people who loathe DOWNTON ABBEY — messy, ribald and hilarious.” – Channel Guide Magazine

This summer, Much shares the story of narcissistic aristocrats, the Bellacourts, in the new “historical” satire executive produced by Ben Stiller, ANOTHER PERIOD, premiering Tuesday, June 23 at 10:30 p.m. ET. Created by stars Natasha Leggero (Let’s Be Cops) and Riki Lindhome (GARFUNKEL AND OATES), the 10-episode, 30-minute scripted series is set in turn-of-the-20th century Rhode Island, and is modelled after modern-day reality TV, but with a Victorian-era twist. Viewers can catch up on full episodes of ANOTHER PERIOD following each broadcast on Much.com. Newport, Rohde Island’s First Family, the Bellacourts    ** Media Note **– Download photos on www.bellmedia.ca/pr/tv/much ANOTHER PERIOD follows the insanely ridiculous and debaucherous life of Newport, Rhode Island’s Bellacourt sisters, whose days are filled with money, sex, drugs, and more money.
