BET has today given a series order to the original comedy series Lot Patrol created by Ernest L. Dancy and Manny Halley. An episode count and premiere date window were not immediately announced.
A mismatched squad of eccentric security guards patrols the chaotic backlot of a major Hollywood studio, where they wrangle unhinged actors, rogue crew members, and their own wildly dysfunctional personal lives. Shot in a sharp-witted mockumentary style, the comedy will blend absurd encounters, razor-sharp urban humor, and unexpectedly heartfelt moments, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the industry through the eyes of those barely holding it together.
The comedy will star DeRay Davis, Carl Anthony Payne, Tamera Kissen, Darius McCrary, Skeet Carter, TK Kirkland, Alex Thomas, Nick Nervies, Dawn Raven, Iyana Halley, and G Thang.
Dancy and Halley will executive produce with director Erik White. Manny Halley Productions will produce.
"Lot Patrol shines a light on the people behind the scenes who keep Hollywood running, told with humor, heart, and a bit of chaos," said Halley. "It's a fresh, culturally rooted take on the industry, and we're excited to partner with BET to bring this story to life."
