Comedy Central (India) – "Your #HappyPlace" is all set to roll into the month of April with a new and riotous line-up that will crack you up even more than the April Fools’ Day jokes! With premieres of new shows and seasons, this month will also see a quirky celebration of April fool’s Day.
In addition to its existing line-up of hilarious day & date shows like Man With A Plan and The Great Indoors, the channel will now premiere new seasons of shows such as The Graham Norton Show on Indian Television. Comedy Central will also introduce new shows such as Suburgatory (Season 1 - 3), Sirens (Season 1 - 2), Whitney (Season 1 - 2), Wrecked (Season 1) and Impastor (Season 2) in its programming roster for this month.
Commenting on the new line-up, Hashim D’Souza, Head of Programming English Entertainment, Viacom 18, shared, “We are already three months into the year and it has, so far, been an amazing one! New shows, new seasons, there’s so much happening on the channel. This month is going to be even better because it’s packed with Indian TV premieres. We are extremely thrilled about it and hope that the viewers like it just as much we loved planning it.”
