Turner's TBS is preparing to cap its banner year with a week-long binge of the network's hit slate of original comedies. Kicking off Christmas night at 11 p.m. (ET/PT), the 121-hour TBS Binge-A-Thon will showcase every episode of the hit series Angie Tribeca, The Detour, Wrecked, People of Earth and Search Party, all of which have garnered tremendous praise from critics and rank among cable's Top 25 new scripted comedy series of 2016 among adults 18-49. Watch a trailer below!

At the center of the TBS Binge-A-Thon will be a nightly primetime showcase, which will shine a spotlight on a different series each night, with a full season of episodes presented with limited commercials from 7:30 p.m. - midnight (ET/PT). The primetime showcase will kick off with the first season of The Detour on Monday, followed by Search PARTY ON Tuesday, People of Earth on Wednesday, Wrecked on Thursday and the second season of ANGIE TRIBECA on Friday. The non-primetime portions of the TBS Binge-A-Thon will be packed with additional full-season stacks of each show airing in rotation around the clock through Friday, Dec. 30.

TBS's new original comedies are part of an extensive brand evolution that began in January with a 25-hour binge premiere for Angie Tribeca. The acclaimed cop show parody was the first of six consecutive hits for the network, which also includes FULL FRONTAL WITH SAMANTHA BEE in February, The Detour in April, Wrecked in July, People of Earth in October and, most recently, Search Party in November. All six shows have been renewed for new seasons in 2017.

Complete descriptions of the five comedy hits featured in the TBS Binge-A-Thon are included below, along with a full schedule for the week. In addition to their linear presentations, all five series will be available to subscribers through TBS's VOD, mobile and digital platforms, as well as the on-demand platforms of TBS's cable/satellite partners.
