The Good Place wrapped up and
Brooklyn Nine-Nine headed into its final season, audiences are facing a shortage of Mike Schur’s feel-good comedy. Luckily, the prolific creator has tapped a stellar team for his latest series,
Rutherford Falls. The new series, which will stream on Peacock, is a comedy about two lifelong best friends, Nathan Rutherford (Ed Helms) and Reagan Wells (newcomer Jana Schmieding), who find themselves at a crossroads – quite literally – when their sleepy town gets an unexpected wakeup call. Rutherford, a descendant of the town’s problematic founder, finds himself in a battle with the town’s Indigenous community over his ancestor’s monument, which is built inconveniently in the middle of the road. At the same time, Wells is struggling to attract visitors to her cultural center which is tucked away in the local tribal casino.
