Hidden Gem: Here’s Why Freelancers Is Your Next Binge-Watch

Do you love a good, witty sitcom, but want to consume entertainment that uplifts you? Angel Studios is home to plenty of inspiring, light-amplifying content, but there’s one delightfully side-splitting gem in our catalog of which most aren’t aware: Freelancers. 

What is Freelancers?

In the world of comedy series, Freelancers stands out from the pack as a clean, accessible, and lighthearted show. The family friendly sitcom follows five broke best friends trying to make it as filmmakers, who’ll try anything to keep their company from sinking, one terrible job at a time.

Over the two seasons of hijinks currently available on the Angel Studios app, there are heaps of laughs and face-palms to be had as this bumbling crew attempts to make a dollar, learning all too much about themselves and each other along the way.

A Cast You Already Love

The faces of Freelancers–and their names dominating the production, writing, and directing credits–might seem familiar. Before they assumed the roles of our favorite unlucky freelance filmmakers and some of the show’s creators, Jeremy Warner, Jason Gray, Mallory Everton, Natalie Madsen, Stephen Meek, Adam Berg, Matthew Meese, and Whitney Call earned stardom and success as the original cast of the viral sketch comedy show Studio C. Emerging from Brigham Young University comedy troupe Divine Comedy, these witty comedians and impressive actors quickly amassed a following for their hilarious, family friendly sketch comedy show comparable to Saturday Night Live. The group subsequently founded and starred on their own comedy network, JK! Studios, where Freelancers was born. These beloved comedians have earned their stripes, and they lend their incredible talent to this quirky, lovable show.

Scratch Your Sitcom Itch 

For decades, audiences have been hooked by the sitcom: a situational comedy with a consistent set of characters. Described as “fast and absurd like 30 Rock and happy and funny like Parks & Rec,” Freelancers has got its very own group of lovable, offbeat characters and no shortage of predicaments to test their strength and wits. If your taste in entertainment is satiated by quick, witty, and zany comedies, this show will be a delightful addition to your collection of faves. 

Millennial Relatability 

A show–more specifically a comedy– doesn’t truly hit the spot unless you can relate it to your own life, and it seems that too little entertainment hits home with a very key group. The young millennial has been learning, to use a term they coined, “adulting” in a world plagued by shifting employment landscapes, recessions, and too many unprecedented world events. 

Does the above description describe your situation all too well? Your struggles, triumphs, and unique experiences are quite familiar to the Freelancers gang, whose bumbling quests through work, dating, friendships, and odd neighbors can help the millennial–as well as the millennial at heart–laugh so they don’t cry.

Comedy for the Whole Family

A funny, high-quality show that’s appropriate for all ages is a rare commodity in today’s landscape, and Freelancers fills that void with clean laughs that don’t sacrifice quality and wit. Adults can laugh (and sigh) at the characters’ foibles and terrible luck, and kids will delight in the kind of snappy, accessible humor they already love from JK! Studios.
