NEW YORK — Originally scheduled to premiere March 16 before production was halted, CBS All Access’ new animated series Tooning Out the News has resumed production remotely and will now premiere April 7 in Canada and the United States.
As previously reported by Cartt.ca, the show features a cast of animated characters mocking the news of the day and interviewing real-world guests, newsmakers and analysts.
Daily segments (five to seven minutes in length) will stream evenings Monday through Thursday, and weekly full episodes will drop Fridays after 12 p.m. ET, exclusively on CBS All Access.
In a news release Tuesday, CBS All Access said staff and crew are now working remotely on the series, which is executive produced by Stephen Colbert and Christ Licht of CBS’ The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and RJ Fried and Tim Luecke from Showtime’s Our Cartoon President.
