The Fithian Group, founded by former top exhibition lobbyists John Fithian, Patrick Corcoran, and Jackie Brenneman, said on Wednesday that Lost & Found In Cleveland will be the first feature from the beta development phase of its theatrical distribution and online digital marketplace Attend.

The holiday season comedy from Marisa Guterman and Keith Gerchak will open nationwide on November 7 and gets a 45-day exclusive theatrical window –the minimum length called for by exhibitors at CinemaCon last week.

The Fithian Group is in the early stages of booking theatres and aims to migrate the process to Attend’s suite of automated tools.

Somebody Somewhere might be over but, somehow, someday, it might return.

After the HBO series aired its third and final season last year, co-creators Hannah Bos and Paul Thureen said they were “so happy with how it landed” but “would love” a chance to bring it back.

“A show like us, it’s a miracle to get three seasons. That said, we would keep on doing it for seven, eight or nine seasons,” Thureen told The Av Club. “These characters live on for us, and I think that it’s always like a slice of life, and a moment in time, and so we’re proud of this moment and I think that we’d love an opportunity to come back to them in the future.”

Bos added, “And maybe we will.”

Every year there is a deluge of quality television viewers are blessed to watch, but even the most time-conscious person is going to let a few great series slip through the cracks unwatched.

Everyone and their dog checked into shows like “House of the Dragon,” “Yellowstone,” Baby Reindeer,” and “Shōgun” but with so much on offer a lot of greats were left underviewed. The holidays are the perfect time to look back and catch up on a new binge before starting fresh in the new year.

The feel-good dramedy series wrapped up its three-season run this past weekend, but there are plenty of other shows to watch next.

Pour out one last tiny ‘tini or margarini for TV’s best feel-good series. This past Sunday, Dec. 8, HBO’s “Somebody Somewhere,” starring Bridget Everett, finished airing its third and final season. Everett starred as Sam, a woman in her 40s who returns to her hometown of Manhattan, Kansas, to navigate the death of her sister, where she finds a new and renewed community amongst her family and friends.

Few shows in recent memory have felt as warm and authentic as “Somebody Somewhere,” which also co-starred Jeff Hiller, Mary Catherine Garrison, Murray Hill, and more, never shying away from sadness or loneliness but instead embracing it with empathy toward being alive.

If you, too, have a Kansas-sized hole in your heart and are looking for more comedies about moving forward through life,...

In the end, it was all about found family — well, found family and Miley Cyrus. The third and final season of HBO’s “Somebody Somewhere” concluded December 8, and the ending moments found Sam (Bridget Everett) movingly belting out Cyrus’ “The Climb” for her friends at a bar.

“I’ve been singing that song for a number of years, and I think that there’s something that is definitely a little on the nose about it, but it can be very moving to sing, and I had a personal emotional connection to it,” Everett said to IndieWire about the song choice. “And I also thought it just met the moment perfectly for Sam, and that the performance of it would be fun and it would make sense in the moment. It was the very first thing when we talked to music supervisors: ‘You have to find the money for this song.

The final episode of Somebody Somewhere goes out on a literal high note. As the HBO comedy’s supporting cast (Jeff Hiller, Mary Catherine Garrison, Murray Hill, Tim Bagley) looks on, Bridget Everett’s Sam offers a toast and performs a stirring rendition of Miley Cyrus’ “The Climb.” It’s a fitting end for a series whose greatest strength was often its ability to be sentimental without being saccharine, and it’s easy to view the scene as a symbolic farewell for its stars. “We didn’t know that would be the series finale, but we really have been writing like any moment could be the last moment of the show,” says co-creator Hannah Bos. “We also shot that during our first week of production on this season due to cast availability, so we really were just like, ‘I hope this works.'”

“Somebody Somewhere” sang its final song, and Bridget Everett said the uplifting performance made for the HBO comedy’s perfect unplanned ending.

After three seasons of laughter, music and big emotional lows, the critically-acclaimed series from Hannah Bos and Paul Thureen ended its run with Everett’s Sam inviting her friends and loved ones to a celebration at her bar, where she sang a tearjerking rendition of “The Climb” by Miley Cyrus.

The song also served as the perfect bow to tie up a standout seven-episode season of “Somebody Somewhere,” which followed as Sam, a grief-stricken but lovable resident of Manhattan, Kansas, made huge strides to grow her confidence — and even found a romantic connection in her family farm’s tenant Iceland (Ólafur Darri Ólafsson).

Season 3 Episode 7 Episode Summary

The upcoming episode of “Somebody Somewhere” promises to delve deeper into the life of Sam, a character who embodies the struggle of fitting in while staying true to herself. Set against the backdrop of her hometown in Kansas, this episode explores themes of loss, acceptance, and the search for belonging.

Editor’s note: “Somebody Somewhere” is IndieWire’s No. 1 TV show of the year. After that decision was made, we called up co-creators Hannah Bos and Paul Thureen as well as star Bridget Everett to chat about what makes it so special.

“Somebody Somewhere” had to end sometime… didn’t it?

Considered by itself, the impossibly endearing HBO comedy from co-creators Hannah Bos and Paul Thureen, alongside star and executive producer Bridget Everett, is exactly the type of show that could go on forever. Following Sam (Everett) after she moves back to her hometown of Manhattan, Ks, the slice-of-life series sees her reconnecting with one sister while grieving another, finding friends in unexpected places, and learning to love herself despite all the voices telling her otherwise. In other words, she’s forging the fundamental building blocks of a good life — a continuous process through moments big and small.

“Somebody Somewhere” finds the laughs in life’s most vulnerable and authentic moments, which makes this week’s fender bender accident a prime example of the show’s excellence.

The HBO comedy series is one episode away from its series finale, with plenty of characters showing significant growth before we say farewell. For Joel (Jeff Hiller), Episode 6 gave him the wake-up call he needed to stand up for himself in his relationship — after a hilariously tragic car accident.

“As Much as I Like Not Feeling” began with Joel getting into an accident with an older lady. As he intently listened to a podcast about “doing hard things,” Joel realized he missed his turn. He hit the brakes and set to reverse, but failed to look before he started going and hit the woman’s car behind him. When he got out of the car,...

Singing is an act of faith. Whether you’re alone in the shower or mic’d up on stage, every time you turn your voice into an instrument, you’re asking for trust — trust that others will want to hear it, trust that you’ll remember all the words, notes, and rhythms, and, perhaps most importantly, trust that you’ll be happy with whatever comes out.

Faith isn’t easy to come by for Sam (Bridget Everett). When we first met the Kansas native in the first season of HBO’s “Somebody Somewhere,” she’s working a dismal office job. She’s just lost her sister, Holly, after a year of caring for her in their Manhattan, Ks hometown. Sam’s parents are on the decline, and the rest of her family isn’t exactly a fount of inspiration.

HBOs lovely, slice-of-life sitcom Somebody Somewhere returns for its final season on Sunday October 27. The show, created by Hannah Bos and Paul Thureen, stars Bridget Everett (Patti Cake$) as Sam Miller, a woman in her 40s who returned to her hometown after the death of her sister. Sam is adrift without a career or solid relationship, but she forms a close friendship with Joel, played by Jeff Hiller. Sam and Joel have the most relatable, heartwarming friendship on TV. Heres a refresher on everything that happened last season.

HBO’s Somebody Somewhere returns for its third and final season with “Margarini,” an episode that sees significant shifts in the lives of its characters. As the trailer reveals, Sam (Bridget Everett) is grappling with uncertainty about her future. While Joel (Jeff Hiller) takes a major step in his relationship with Brad by moving in together, […]

Changes on the Horizon in Somebody Somewhere Season 3 Premiere “Margarini”...

We’re in an era of entertainment maximalism. Superheroes with larger-than-life powers; cinematic universes with a dozen franchises or more; huge swings with even the unlikeliest IP: all are inescapable. So it’s nearly a miracle that Somebody Somewhere, which seems like an experiment in how small a story can be and still enthrall its audience, has lasted this long. With its third and final season, it ends as it began: portraying the vital necessity of true friendship, especially later in life.

In the first season, Sam (Bridget Everett) has relatively recently returned from New York City to her hometown of Manhattan, Kansas, for her sister Holly’s last days. As the series begins, Holly has died of cancer, and Sam is just trying to maintain baseline functionality. She doesn’t realize that Joel (Jeff Hiller), now her co-worker at her job reading college admission essays, knew her when they were both in high school,...

“Somebody Somewhere” is a show about friendship.

It’s also a show about trying. And growing. And about a million other things that happen in the quest to find your people — wherever they may be.

For the crew of “Somebody Somewhere” that place is Manhattan, Kansas, and over three too-quick seasons, the Peabody-winning comedy series centers on Sam (Bridget Everett), a woman attempting to put her life back together in a small town after the death of her sister. She’s dealing with a lot of self-hate, but slowly she learns to build her own community — which includes new best friend Joel (Jeff Hiller), occasional nemesis sister Tricia (Mary Catherine Garrison), and many others, including memorable turns from Murray Hill and Tim Bagley.

“One of the things I love about the show is we’re more character driven [as opposed to plot],” Everett told IndieWire. “The most interesting storytelling is just thinking about Joel...

In the opening scene of the third season of Somebody Somewhere, Bridget Everett’s character, Sam Miller, crouches on the floor of a bar, talking baby-talk to a dog. When she gets up she shows a patron a picture of a dog she’s dreaming about adopting. Then, she leaves, singing in her truck down a Kansas dirt road, heading into town to celebrate her sister’s divorce with margaritas and queso.

The moments of this show are not seismic. There are no big boardroom deals. No tantruming megarich eldest boys playing with election outcomes.

The Duplass Brothers-produced series Somebody Somewhere has long been championed by critics and fans but didn’t receive any accolades on a major scale until it won a Peabody Award for its wonderful second season. This recognition will hopefully bring the show to a broader audience in time for its third and final season to warm and crush their hearts, as it is an incredible work of slice-of-life dramedy that somehow tops the already incredible first two seasons.

Somebody Somewhere Season 3 Review

This season follows the small-town Kansans we’ve come to know — Sam, Joel, and all their friends and loved ones — as they grow apart, each experiencing their own struggles. Although splitting up the cast of an ensemble-driven show like Somebody Somewhere is often a mistake, this approach feels incredibly and unexpectedly natural here because it is rooted in a thematic need rather than a narrative one.

In Season 1 of HBO’s Peabody Award-winning dramedy “Somebody Somewhere,” Sam Miller (Bridget Everett) worked through her grief and anger in the months following her older sister Holly’s death. In Season 2, she struggled to find her place in her hometown again while managing her first big blowup with her best friend Joel (Jeff Hiller) and grappling with a secret Holly had kept from her. Now, in the third season of this outstanding series, Sam finally settles into her tiny community and tries to navigate change without retreating into old habits of isolation and self-loathing. Just as magical as ever, the final season of “Somebody Somewhere” is a stunningly honest depiction of friendship, grace and courage.

Set in Manhattan, Kansas, “Somebody Somewhere” captures the quiet, charm and monotony of small-town living. Instead of being patronizing, creators Hannah Bos and Paul Thureen offer a hilarious and beautifully compassionate window into this particular place,...

Somebody Somewhere, a series telling a sincere, relatable story, is sadly coming to an end. This fall, the HBO comedy series will premier its third and final season, bringing an end to Sam's (Bridget Everett) inspirational journey of self-discovery. While we would have all loved for Sam and her best bud Joel (Jeff Hiller) to stick around for a little longer, it is time to say goodbye and the good thing is, we were not left hanging as their story will get a befitting conclusion when Season 3 premieres this fall. HBO has released a full trailer for the final season and there is more laughter than tears, teasing a happy ending for Sam and all she's ever wanted out of life.

HBO has revealed the official trailer and key art for Somebody Somewhere Season 3, which will wrap up the series and premiere on Sunday, October 27 (10:30 – 11:00 p.m. Et/Pt). Starring comedian and singer Bridget Everett, Somebody Somewhere Season 3 will debut on HBO and will be available to stream on Max.

From Mighty Mint, Duplass Brothers Productions, and executive producers Bridget Everett, Hannah Bos, and Paul Thureen, the series follows Sam (Everett), a true Kansan on the surface but, beneath it all, struggling to fit the hometown mold.

Grappling with loss and acceptance, singing is Sam’s saving grace. It leads her on a journey to discover herself and a community of outsiders who don’t fit in but don’t give up, showing that finding your people and finding your voice is possible. Anywhere. Somewhere. In season three, we see growth against all odds.

HBO’s description for the third and final season of Somebody Somewhere is brief: “In season three, we see growth against all odds.” A trailer for the show suggests the source of some of those long odds.

In the trailer (watch it below), Sam (Bridget Everett) is faced with some changes in her life as Joel (Jeff Hiller), whom she’s been living with, gets an offer on his house and prepares to move, while she continues trying to figure out what she wants from her life: “I don’t really know what I’m doing,” Sam says at one point in the trailer, followed by a plaintive question: “What’s wrong with wanting a little bit more?”

There are, of course, a number of jokes in the trailer — Somebody Somewhere is a comedy series, even if it’s not a setup-punchline factory — along with the show’s characteristic open-hearted warmth toward its characters.

Somebody Somewhere is going out on a high note. In the new trailer released Monday for the HBO comedy’s upcoming third and final season, Bridget Everett’s Sam is facing a whole lot of mystery as everything around her seems to be changing all at once.

According to the official description for the forthcoming run (which premieres Sunday, Oct. 27 at 10:30/9:30c), “We see growth against all odds.” In the new video, Sam embraces her chosen family (and sister Tricia) as she works a new job and worries about her next steps in life. Meanwhile, Joel and Brad...

“Somebody Somewhere” is bracing for major changes in its first trailer for Season 3. The final installment of Bridget Everett’s award-winning comedy will premiere Oct. 27 at 10:30 p.m. Et on HBO. New episodes will also be available to stream on Max.

Monday’s trailer opens with what Sam dubs “a lot of change.” As her friends encourage the group to eat healthier, her best friend Joel (Jeff Hiller) prepares to move.

“I don’t really know what I’m doing. What’s wrong with wanting a little bit more?” Sam asks her sister.

“You are a woman who is in charge of her life. But you have to manifest it. You have to say it out loud otherwise it won’t happen,” Tricia (Mary Catherine Garrison) lectures. Later, she gives some kinder advice, assuring her sister that “nobody knows what they’re doing, I promise. You just do it.

It’s the beginning of the end for HBO’s Somebody Somewhere, the Peabody Award-winning comedy starring, written, and executive produced by comedian and singer Bridget Everett.

In the official trailer for the third and final season, positive change is in the Kansas wind for Sam (Everett), Joel (Jeff Hiller) and Tricia (Mary Catherine Garrison) in the HBO Original comedy that returns Oct. 27. The cast also includes Tim Bagley (Brad), Murray Hill (Fred Rococo), Jennifer Mudge (Susan), Mercedes White (Tiffani), Meighan Gerachis (Irma), and Ólafur Darri Ólafsson (Iceland).
