What Constitutes A Season

Since Webseries are still very much like the Wild West, they don't necessarily follow the same models that are displayed by television shows. This brings up a very interesting question: How do you differentiate between seasons?




For In the Can, the answer is simple. We write each season - with a finite number of episodes in blocks. Because of this, we know what we want to happen in any given Season: there is a very clear through line. Since we have the hopes that In the Can will have a life as a half hour show, we break each season down and call it an episode. This "episode" is then made up of parts. When those parts are strung together you have a season. For instance - Season 1 (Episode One) is made up of 7 episodes (or parts). Got it? Wow, it seems much more confusing now that I've written it.

For The Sexually, we have a similar game plan. We know the outline of a season and then Jeff writes the episodes and we throw in a bunch of improved sketches. The sketches came out of need to create content while competing with busy schedules. Out of necessity, these created a great place for the boys to really stretch out their characters and provide us with a lot of backstory that we no longer need to jam into a three minute episode. Even though this was our master plan, our story lines have changed as the series has developed. We didn't conceive of the park episodes until we realized we needed a through line. Since we started filming the improved interviews, and the boys brought such intricicacies to their characters, Jeff needed to weave it all together. Thus the park scenes. So...breaking down the sexually so far has been a bit tougher. I look at Season 1 as the Lawyer office episodes and the Central Park episodes. Season 2 are the interviews. Moving forward we have a more clear cut idea of the next couple of seasons - Season 3 brings the boys to therapy. We will still feature both improv and scripted episodes, but they will have a central focus behind them.

This brings us to The In-Betweens of Holly Malone. When we started Holly, we had a lot to learn. She was our flagship show, and we were still getting our feet wet on creating the language of a webseries. The first season of Holly - episodes 1 through 17 have a clear over arching story line. As we progressed, we realized that fast and funny was best and that our audience was willing to overlook certain expositional plot points in exchange for funny jokes. We also learned to keep the episodes current. Now we have jokes about the Oscars, politics and the economy. Right now we're still in Season 2 of Holly, but this season could go on indefinitely. Since we haven't delineated the idea of what marks a season in Holly, we're likely to just keep creating and not worrying about seasons.

However, these theories could all go out the window as each series develops!


In other news, we've been tossing around ideas to combine all three series into an "On the Leesh Webseries Special." We don't have a plot line yet, but our idea is that all the characters would meet and interact. Imagine Holly up against Johnnie or Juice with Phillipa...

Season 2 of In the Can

Last week we held our first read-thru of the next 13 episodes of In the Can. We’re going to be shooting the next batch on the weekend of April 19th and 20th. The cast was hilarious as usual and included: Christopher Borg as Borg – the head of In the Can Productions, Marina Kotovnikov as Phillipa Phillipa – the budding screenwriter who’s screenplay was purchased as In the Can’s first feature, Ellen Reilly as Millie – the tempermental, production designer/performance artist, Julie Tortorici as Bernice – the office manager and wannabe love of Borg, Jessica Arinella as Sally – the director of acquisitions and soon-to-be-discovered actress, Matt Rashid as Jonathon – the star wars obsessed intern who has ties to Steven Speilberg and finally, Desmond Dutcher as DeeDuu – the party planner extraordinaire who was recently brought in to help throw a fundraising bash for the film.
Rounding out the cast are the newcomers to the series: the voice of Mr. A (played by Matt Rashid) and the loan shark, Redman (played by Mark Doherty).
The next 13 episodes of the series will follow the group as they (mostly) try to continue on their path of getting “Love Is A Collard Green” made.
