“Saturday Night Live” cast member Bowen Yang will star opposite comedian Joel Kim Booster in the new series “Trip.”
The series, which was created by Booster, is a “modern day rom-com inspired by Jane Austin’s ‘Pride and Prejudice’” set on Fire Island, according to Deadline.
“Trip” will center around two best friends, played by Yang and Booster, who head out to the legendary Fire Island for a week-long summer vacation.
“Trip” will be released on the new mobile video platform Quibi, founded by Jeffrey Katzenberg in 2018 and launched on April 6. Quibi features shows that consist of 10-minutes-or-less episodes called “quick bites” and are designed to be viewed only on mobile devices.
Quibi currently features a collection of shows from such celebrities as Steven Spielberg, Chrissy Teigen, Zac Efron and Chance The Rapper.
“Trip” does not have a release date yet.
