Not willing to be left out of May's "Upfronts-a-palooza," the fine folks at TruTV had some announcements of their own to make ahead of next week's WarnerMedia presentation. First up, 2020 will see the cable network's first animated series with This Functional Family as well as a sports-themed studio show from comics Clayton English and Noah Gardenswartz. As for their current programming line-up, TruTV is making it rain new seasons on At Home with Amy Sedaris, Laff Mobb's Laff Tracks, and The Carbonaro Effect; as well as additional episodes of Adam Ruins Everything.

"With our longstanding franchises to more recent successes like Tacoma FD, we've curated an original portfolio at truTV that consistently delivers on telling distinct comedic stories from amazing talent that is resonating with fans and advertisers alike. As we look ahead to the 2019-20 broadcast season and WarnerMedia's expansion into new platforms, we're excited about our unmatched potential for our wholly owned content that we're developing for young adult audiences."

This Functional Family (2020: Season 1 – 10 episodes)

At the center of this multi-racial, multi-generational modern family is comedian Koy: a guy who just wants to be a good son, a better dad, a decent brother, and a solid ex-husband. Drawing upon real-life experiences and characters featured in Koy's popular stand-up tour, this half-hour animated scripted series asks: what if the most real family on television was also a pretty weird cartoon?

Created by Koy and series showrunner Kirk Rudell, This Functional Family is produced by Stun with Koy, Rudell, Jeremy Colfer, Mark Feldstein, Brad Roth, and Joe Meloche as executive producers.

Game Changers (2020: Season 1 – 12 episodes-wt)
