“We are thrilled that HBO Max has not only given the world a fifth season of ‘Search Party,’ but also shown this much faith in our partnership with them as we develop new projects for the platform,” said Bliss and Rogers. “Potential titles for upcoming shows include ‘Monkeys Love Manhattan’ and ‘The Pineapple Predicament.’ Those aren’t actual shows we would ever pitch but it exhibits that we can make up titles if we need to.”
The fourth season saw Dory be the character that needed a titular search party after Chip (Cole Escola) kidnapped her and held her captive in a painstakingly re-created but smaller scale version of her New York City apartment in the basement of his aunt Lylah’s (Susan Sarandon) house in the small town of Babyfoot. At the end of the season Chip and Lylah left Dory locked in the basement as the house burned.
