Colin Jost and Danny Chun Launch New Comedy Series 6 Bed 1 Bath, per Variety
Colin Jost and former The Office writer Danny Chun are launching a six-episode independent comedy series titled 6 Bed 1 Bath, according to Variety. The project bypasses traditional Hollywood studios and networks to premiere on free, ad-supported streaming television platforms.
Independent Financing Gives Creators Full Creative Control
Production on the half-hour sitcom recently wrapped in New York City, with an expected premiere in the first quarter of 2027, as reported by LateNighter. Rather than relying on a major studio, the project was independently financed by Revue Studios.
Revue, CAA Entertainment Partnerships, and production companies These Pictures and No Notes sourced brand partnerships that helped fund the series. This funding structure allowed Jost and Chun to retain full control over the creative direction of the show.
Roommates Share Apartment with Tenant from 1982
The series follows a group of five roommates in their twenties sharing an apartment with a man who has lived there since 1982. The older tenant reportedly responded to rent increases over the years by building new bedrooms inside the unit. The logline highlights this premise as the central engine for the six-episode season.
Jost and Chun first collaborated decades ago while writing for the Harvard Lampoon. Jost has spent two decades at Saturday Night Live, joining as a writer in 2005 and serving as co-anchor of “Weekend Update” alongside Michael Che. Chun began his television career writing for The Simpsons before joining The Office, and currently has feature film projects in development at Sony and Dreamworks Animation.
Ryan Case directed all six episodes of 6 Bed 1 Bath. Executive producers on the project include Colin Jost, Scarlett Johansson, Danny Chun, Andrew Singer, Jeff Grosvenor, Jonathan Lia, Ryan Case, Molly McMillen, and Jon Liebman. Johansson, Jonathan Lia, and Keenan Flynn developed the project through their production company, These Pictures.
Distribution Strategy on AVOD Platforms
6 Bed 1 Bath will distribute its episodes across free, ad-supported video-on-demand platforms, including Tubi, Pluto TV, and the Roku Channel. While initial trade announcements confirmed these distribution channels, specific platform availability and cast details remain unconfirmed by the production team ahead of the 2027 release window.
“Danny and I just wanted to make a show we thought was funny and somehow those are the hardest shows to get made,” Jost said in a statement provided to the trades. “So we found a new, innovative way to do it outside of the normal studio system and we feel very lucky about how the cast and the crew came together. We’re excited for everyone to see it.”
