Premise

edit

After After Party tackles "pop culture, politics and social issues alongside comedians, journalists and celebrity guests." Each episode blends "comedy, conversation, and context through a variety of creative formats, including: sketch & panel comedy with a rotating variety of personalities; wild card games & confessionals; surprise guest drop ins; and the “NTK” or “Need To Know,” the nightly last word of fun and serviceable advice."[1]

Production

edit

On August 8, 2018, it was announced that Facebook had given the production a series order for a first season consisting of thirty episodes. The series was created by Julie Miller and set to be hosted by comedian Sonia Denis. Miller was also slated to serve as an executive producer. Production companies involved with the series were expected to include Refinery29.[1][2]

Each week's episodes are filmed twice a week on Mondays and Wednesdays, with shoots lasting between an hour to an hour and a half. Subjects chosen for discussion are meant to be topical but not too specific as episodes are not shot and released same day. Refinery29 generally sends material to Facebook for notes including a rundown of topics ahead of taping, scripts, and final edits.[3]
