Facebook Watch has set the premiere date for Bill Murray and Brian Doyle-Murray’s Extra Innings, an unscripted series about minor league baseball hosted by the comedy brothers. The 10-episode digital series will debut Monday, November 20 with new episodes available weekly on Mondays.
Facebook debuted the Watch original video tab back on September 5th of this year. Right Facebook is primarily highlighting reality shows sinc ehtey are cheap to make.
In Extra Innings, avid baseball fans the Murrays travel to minor-league cities to visit teams and the communities they represent. Behind-the-scenes access, groundskeeping shenanigans and the occasional heckling will all be part of the show. The series is from Oso Studios, co-creator of Showtime’s Mike Judge Presents: Tales From the Tour Bus.
The Murray brothers even co-wrote and performed the theme song you hear above, along with former David Letterman bandleader Paul Shaffer.
Bill Murray, Brian Doyle-Murray and Oso’s Dub Cornett are executive producers, and Victoria Lily Shaffer is producer.
