It's smart, it's sweet, it's snarky, it's Workshop! That terrific web dramedy about a band of struggling Hollywood actors has returned for its second season and is now available via Hulu (hulu.com/workshop). This is the first time Hulu has distributed an independent half-hour series, so kudos to Nate Golon, the show's gifted creator/exec producer/star, and to Daytime Confidential gossip kings Luke Kerr and Jamey Giddens, who recently signed on as associate producers. To help kick off Season 2, TV Guide Magazine had a chat with actor Phillip Jeanmarie, who plays Workshop wannabe Adam Saltair. Of course, he's better known to the fans of Passions for his landmark work as Vincent Clarkson, the psychotic, incestuous, sperm-stealing, she-male tabloid reporter who made life in Harmony a living hell...

Online video and web series news worth clicking today… Workshop the series debuts Season 2 today on Hulu after inking a distribution deal with the network earlier this spring. Creator Nate Golon is calling it the first half-hour web comedy to premiere on the site, and looking back over our records, he may be right. “As an added bonus, we’ve also posted episode 2, since people were patient enough to wait an extra week,” said Golon on the launch. That means you’ll need to earmark about 44 minutes for this comedic look inside the world of struggling La actors. 20 minutes in, we’d have to say it’s worth it. Six episodes total are due out this season, adding up to a whopping 132 minutes of comedy. [Workshop on Hulu] ElfQuest came to life last night with the SAG screening and release of the “fan imagined” trailer for a would-be series based on the popular comic book series.

Web TV offers up a lot of content specifically geared toward adults. But what if one wants to just sit down with their four-year-old and click on something that doesn’t require parental censorship? If there is one area where web TV falters (or succeeds, some might say), it is that it lacks clean material for language-conscious parents who don’t want their children watching web shows loaded with expletives or sexual innuendo. Workshop, a mockumentary-slash-situational comedy about six actors and their efforts to make it big time, wants that audience and more. Nate Golon, co-creator and producer of Workshop, said much of the show’s first season will poke fun at casting workshops. Ironically, the show stars a couple of actors with experience in soap operas, a genre known for its outrageously adult themes. One of those actors, Phillip Jeanmarie, played a hermaphrodite as a series regular on Passions.
