Issa Rae, best known as the creator of the web series Misadventures of an Awkward Black Girl and the HBO show Insecure, is also a noted producer of digital content, and one of the shows she released through her production company has found a home on TV. Butter and Brown, a cooking show hosted by Seth Brundle and Leslie Antonoff, has been picked up by Aspire, the five-year-old channel launched by Magic Johnson.
In Butter and Brown, Brundle and Antonoff cook up a few of their favorite dishes, which they accompany with some carefully crafted cocktails. The show’s recipe calls for a liberal helping of comedy and wry banter, which its hosts provide.
Butter and Brown‘s original run consisted of six episodes, which arrived on Rae’s YouTube channel in 2014. The TV version will expand Brundle and Antonoff’s operation and bring several notable guest stars into their kitchen, including rappers Rick Ross and David Banner. Rae is set serve as an executive producer of the adaptation along with celebrity chef G. Garvin.
According to Vibe, the first season of the Butter and Brown TV adaptation will consist of nine episodes, the first of which is expected to premiere at 8 PM ET on October 3.
