Will Arnett’s new Netflix comedy ‘Muderville’ follows celebrity guests improvising their way through whodunnits.
Streaming The new Netflix comedy follows celebrity guests improvising their way through murder cases. Netflix’s Murderville is like Curb Your Enthusiasm meets whodunnit. The new comedy series stars Will Arnett as detective Terry Seattle, who’s tasked with solving grizzly murders alongside a cast of rotating celebrity guest stars. However, the guest stars aren’t given a script, which means they have to improv their way through the case. Arnett’s detective character is there to guide the way, but it’s up to the celebrity to name the killer. The first season of Murderville is only six episodes, and Netflix hasn’t announced if it will return for Season 2. However, the premise lends itself to many seasons to come, since it can keep reinventing itself with new cases and actors. There’s also precedent for Murderville to continue: the show is loosely based on the BAFTA-award winning BBC3 series Murder in Successville, which similarly followed a seasoned comedian (Tom Davis) worked alongside fish-out-of-water guest stars to solve murders.
