IFC RELEASES FIRST-LOOK FROM THE UPCOMING SEASON OF THE EMMY(R)-WINNING VARIETY SERIES "SHERMAN'S SHOWCASE"

Second Season Premieres on IFC This Fall

Series' Juneteenth Celebration Marathon to Air on Sunday, June 19

NEW YORK - June 17, 2022 - IFC today released a first-look from the upcoming second season of Emmy(R)-winning variety series Sherman's Showcase, premiering on IFC this fall. In addition, in celebration of Juneteenth, IFC is airing an 8-episode marathon on Sunday, June 19, including the one-hour special "Black History Month Spectacular" at 9:30am ET.

The witty, irreverent and wholly original Sherman's Showcase features sketches, dancers, fake commercials, movie trailers, cultural nostalgia, the funkmonster, A-list guest stars and original songs ("Drop it Low for Jesus," "Marina Del Ray") that definitely climbed the fictional charts. Each episode of the series is hosted by Sherman McDaniels as he takes viewers through time, via music and comedy drawn from the 40-year library of a legendary (but fictional) musical variety show.

Sherman's Showcase, which first season is rated 100% Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, is created by Bashir Salahuddin (Top Gun: Maverick, South Side) and Diallo Riddle (Marlon, South Side), who also star and executive produce. Emmy(R)-, GRAMMY(R)-, Oscar(R)- and Tony(R)-winner John Legend, Mike Jackson and Ty Stiklorious serve as executive producers through their Get Lifted Film Co. (La La Land, Underground, Jesus Christ Superstar). Pete Aronson serves as executive producer, and Frank Scherma and Jim Bouvet of RadicalMedia also executive produce. AMC Studios Content Distribution is managing worldwide sales of the show.
