BYUtv Renews Viral Sketch Comedy Sensation "Studio C" for Season 11

Season 10 premieres Sept. 30 with nine new cast members

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., July 25, 2019 -- Family entertainment network BYUtv announced today at the Television Critics Association Summer Press Tour that it has renewed its fan-favorite sketch comedy show "Studio C" for season 11, to debut in 2020. The 10th season, starring an eclectic new cast of comedians, will premiere on Monday, Sept. 30, 2019 at 8 p.m. ET/6 p.m. MT/5 p.m. PT. A viral phenom with nearly two billion views on YouTube and past guest stars including Emmy winner Kenan Thompson, "Studio C" derives universally-loved humor from everyday life through endlessly watchable and shareable sketches that offer comic perspective on commonplace scenarios and pop culture commentary.

"BYUtv comedy has been and continues to be one of the most successful genres across all our platforms," said Michael Dunn, managing director of BYUtv. "'Studio C' was unexpected and not what people though they'd find at BYUtv, but since we launched the show in 2012, it has consistently churned out brilliant entertainment that fans of all ages enjoy. The hilarious work and chemistry of our new cast is among our best work yet, and we're thrilled to renew for season 11."

The experienced, diverse group of new cast members was discovered in an extensive nationwide talent search. Joining "Studio C" alums Tori Pence and Dalton Johnson are:

April Rock, from Connecticut, who's studied at Pepperdine University, Upright Citizens Brigade, Second City and John Rosenfeld Studios

BYUtv is joining forces with Kaleidoscope Pictures ("Show Offs," "Christmas Under the Stars") to produce "Studio C." Kaleidoscope has tapped Los Angeles showrunner and former stand-up comedian and sketch performer Jim O'Doherty ("Third Rock from the Sun," "The Tracy Morgan Show") to lead the cast.

In addition to "Studio C," BYUtv's original programming slate includes "Dwight in Shining Armor," a scripted adventure comedy in which the Middle Ages meets Middle America; "Relative Race," the first family-history based competitive reality show that follows four teams as they meet relatives linked by DNA for the first time in a race throughout the United States; "Random Acts," an unscripted hidden-camera reality show that highlights the altruistic nature of human beings by featuring real people who are the recipients of random acts of kindness; and the cooking competition series "Dinner Takes All" that's all about food, family and fun. BYUtv is available across the country via cable, satellite and multiple digital media platforms.
