[via press release from Peacock]

PEACOCK SETS JANUARY 25TH PREMIERE DATE AND DEBUTS CHARACTER PORTRAITS FOR ADULT ANIMATED COMEDY SERIES "IN THE KNOW"

From Zach Woods (Silicon Valley, The Office), Brandon Gardner and Mike Judge (Beavis and Butt-Head, King of the Hill)

A NOTE FROM ZACH WOODS (CREATOR/SHOWRUNNER/EXECUTIVE PRODUCER/STAR) AND BRANDON GARDNER (CREATOR/SHOWRUNNER/EXECUTIVE PRODUCER)

We love public radio. It's engaging and comforting. But it also reflects aspects of ourselves that we're embarrassed by. Which is why we created a show about an NPR host who is, sadly, an only slightly exaggerated version of ourselves.

We're privileged, well intentioned, guilty hypocrites. We buy ethically-sourced dog treats and have them delivered by people who are penalized for bathroom breaks. We put "No Justice No Peace" signs next to our home security lawn decals. We're sanctimonious doofuses who should be ridiculed more.

As we get more isolated in our respective echo chambers, we're desperate to connect with people who are different from us through honest conversation and humor. We try to provide both on the show. (And even if you think our comedy is literal trash, we hope you'll enjoy the gorgeous animation from the stop-motion geniuses at ShadowMachine.)

We want this show to start funny, scary, friendly conversations. We want to portray people who are possibly irredeemable but hopefully still loveable. And at the center of all of this is a frail overconfident male puppet with a woman's name: Lauren Caspian.
