            I was a really big fan of Togetherness after Season 1. I loved the simple plot of it all but how realistic it was as a dramedy about life, love and marriage. I didn’t get to finish Season 2 but it was cancelled following the end of that season which is unfortunate because I also really happen to love almost anything that the Duplass Brothers do. Luckily, today, Collider reports that the filmmaking brothers will bring a comedy anthology series to HBO titled Room 104.

            Limited series have become a juggernaut the last few years with hits like American Horror/Crime Story, Fargo, The Night Of and Roots, but a comedy anthology series is fresh and exciting for sure. The structure of the show is simple, every episode will tell a different story about the characters passing through and it will take place in a single, average hotel room. With all the potential things that have/can happen within a hotel room, I’m extremely excited to see where the Duplass Brothers can bring the audience with this show.


            The two brothers also act in front of the camera as Mark Duplass was one of the main characters on shows like The League and Togetherness; while Jay Duplass is currently co-starring in Amazon’s show, Transparent. Room 104 is expected to begin production later this year for a 2017 debut.
