NBC has given a six-episode pickup to the “Drunk History”-style re-enactment series “True Story,” co-hosted by Ed Helms and Randall Park.
Based on the Australian format “True Story with Hamish & Andy,” “True Story” will see everyday Americans sit down with Helms and Park to “share their most extraordinary and unbelievably true stories.” The stories will be brought to life by a star-studded cast of comedians and actors in “heightened, dramatized re-enactments of cinematic proportions.”
“I can’t wait to bring ‘True Story’ to American audiences with my buddy Randall Park,” said Helms, who also serves as executive producer on the show. “It’s an incredibly warm, hilarious and kind-spirited show that celebrates the lost art of laughing at ourselves … with a little help from epic reenactments.”
