Comedy Central has announced a deal with two-time Emmy-winner John Mulaney to bring two original Sack Lunch Bunch specials to the network. One of the specials will be holiday-themed and the original cast is set to be reunited.
The two new works will follow in the footsteps of John Mulaney & the Sack Lunch Bunch, a children’s musical comedy special which debuted on Netflix in 2019. Mulaney last teamed-up with Comedy Central for a special in 2012
“We couldn’t be more excited about John’s return to Comedy Central and hope this is just the beginning of a long-standing partnership,” said Chris McCarthy, President of ViacomCBS Entertainment & Youth Brands, in a statement.
Mulaney added, “I was an intern at Comedy Central when I was barely older than the kids in the “Sack Lunch Bunch.” I wasn’t a very good intern, so I am psyched they hired me again. We are thrilled to bring these specials to Comedy Central: a place where I have had so many good times.”
Premiere dates for the new Sack Lunch Bunch specials have yet to be announced. More information about the comedian can be found at Johnmulaney.com.
