About The Show

Breaking News is an episodic miniseries about a news show that launches in the midst of the global pandemic of 2020-2021 in the United States by a new cable news network YNTV by the family-owned corporation Thompson Family Ventures.  

This show will follow the show’s launch and evolution, both as a brand and news provider, as well as the personal lives of the main characters as they navigate what it is like providing news coverage for a new network in the midst of  the global pandemic and the societal changes that impacted the news cycle and work culture during the period and beyond.

Genre: Comedy (Satire)

The series is a mix of episodic storytelling, bottled topics / seasonal / series extending storylines. Important: the show is meant to make people who initially see it actually think they are watching a real pandemic-inspired environment cable newscast- do not want it to come across as a scripted episodic series in presentation. While this is a parody of our news cycles during the pandemic, we do not want it to be obvious upon initial viewing.

Character Breakdowns:

NOTE: All actors must be comfortable with improv! There are improv segments at the end of each episode where the cast will be able to step into their characters and build the scenes. This is going to be a super fun opportunity to hone that craft!
