‘Somebody Somewhere’

Well, something good has happened in 2022! Comedian/New York cabaret legend Bridget Everett has her own television show. Created by Hannah Bos and Paul Thureen and executive produced by the Duplass brothers and Everett herself, Somebody Somewhere follows the listless middle-aged Sam (Everett) who has returned to the place where she grew up—Manhattan, Kansas—after the death of her beloved sister, Holly. Still grieving and struggling with new family dynamics, Sam finds solace in the most unexpected place: a group of misfits and artists, led by her co-worker and high school classmate, Joel (the hilarious Jeff Hiller), who gather in secret to express themselves through music and performance. Somebody Somewhere gives Everett and Hiller, who are often relegated to scene-stealing supporting characters, the opportunity to take the lead in a dramedy about finding your voice at any age. It’s about time!
