Hi, I’m writing about NBC Universal’s Marlon for TVSeriesHub, and I just got good news for fans of Marlon Wayans. Marlon is the TV comedy that follows Marlon and his family as he manages life as a Black father of two, divorced but on good terms with his wife, and also successfully Youtubing comedy videos being that the show is somewhat true-to-life of Wayans’ actual life circumstances. Two weeks after the Season 1 finale aired on NBC Universal, it comes as a breath of fresh air for fans that Marlon, yes, has been renewed for Season 2.
NBC Universal announced this tonight, as of this writing (September 28, 2017). I was able to see some of Marlon on the Internet and I enjoyed it, and I even got to live tweet the ninth episode of the ten-season run for Season 1, which was fun as I’d never live-tweeted a TV show before.
The use of Marlon’s Youtubing in the course of the story is a nice touch as I haven’t seen a giant amount of such a blend with real life and narrative storytelling, bringing to mind iCarly or ripped-from-the-headlines Law & Order. It is kind of a postmodern idea to decipher the idea of Youtubing or otherwise going live to video in order to facilitate telling a story. If you can see where I’m coming from with the idea that it’s a postmodern touch, you can see why it’s fit to be embraced as a computer tech and traditional TV narrative is intertwined.
