NBC to make at least one more episode of Up All Night without Christina Applegate or reason
Seeking a way to gauge whether a multi-camera, Christina Applegate-less version of Up All Night can work besides thinking about it for a minute or listening to other people, NBC says it will go forward with shooting at least one episode of the show this season. Deadline reports that the decision was handed down after Applegate announced she was leaving the series, upon which NBC executives apparently said, “So our little-watched sitcom that’s been through nearly as many premise and character changes as it has showrunners in just two seasons, and has most recently been retooled as a multi-camera sitcom as a last-ditch effort to salvage it, has now also lost its main star? Well, instead of shooting a test run of five more episodes, let’s definitely just do one then.”
