With celebrated comedian Taylor Tomlinson at the helm and a panel of guests from the worlds of entertainment, comedy, music, and beyond, After Midnight is a late-night comedy series about what set the internet abuzz that day with a game show feel.
After Midnight, from CBS Studios, Spartina Industries, and Funny Or Die, is executive produced by Stephen Colbert, Carrie Byalick, Tom Purcell, and Evelyn McGee Colbert of Spartina Industries; James Dixon of Dixon Talent; Joe Farrell, Mike Farah, Whitney Hodack, and Henry R. Muñoz III of Funny Or Die; and Jason U. Nadler of Serious Business.
Jack Martin and Eric Pierce are co-showrunners and executive producers. Nadler co-created the Funny Or Die-produced @midnight, while Martin was the series’ showrunner through all four seasons.
Jo Firestone is the co-executive producer and head writer, while Alexx Wells will also serve as co-executive producer. Sharon Everitt will direct the series.
Paramount+ with SHOWTIME subscribers will have access to stream the series live via the feed of their local CBS affiliate on the service, as well as on demand. Paramount+ Essential subscribers will not have the option to stream live but will have access to on-demand the day after the show airs.
