Exclusive: Comedy Central is launching the first new original series under ViacomCBS network’s current push in adult animation. Fairview, executive produced by Stephen Colbert and the team behind Paramount+’s Emmy-nominated Tooning Out the News and Showtime’s Our Cartoon President, will debut Feb. 9 at 8:30 pm, following South Park.

Voice talent includes Marina Cockenberg, James Austin Johnson, Aparna Nancherla, Jeremy Levick,...
