AMC announced today that it has greenlit a “Dietland” companion talk show, “Unapologetic with Aisha Tyler.” Produced for AMC by Embassy Row (“Talking Dead,” “Beyond Stranger Things,” “Watch What Happens Live”), the unscripted series hosted by Tyler (“Criminal Minds,” “Archer”) will air live on Mondays beginning June 4, immediately following episodes of AMC's new original series “Dietland.” The first episode of “Unapologetic with Aisha Tyler” will air on Monday, June 4 at 11:00 pm after two back-to-back episodes of “Dietland,” and will then move to its regular weekly timeslot of 10:00 pm ET the following week. Unlike a conventional after show confined to the companion series itself, “Unapologetic” will feature Tyler leading a topical discussion around the broader, female-centric issues and themes that “Dietland” explores. Tyler will be talking with celebrity fans, series actors and producers, as well as relevant journalists, writers, comedians and other tastemakers.
