Show Description

Universal Basic Guys, co-created and executive produced by brothers Adam Malamut and Craig Malamut, centers on two brothers, Mark and Hank Hoagies, who lose their jobs to automation and are given $3,000 a month in a new basic income program. Now, they’re using their free time and free money to find purpose in a world where they’re no longer needed. The series stars Adam Malamut (Game of Zones) as both Mark and Hank Hoagies, Talia Genevieve as Tammy Hoagies, Ally Maki (Hacks) as Andrea, and Fred Armisen (SNL, Portlandia) as David.

 

It's no work and all play this season when Mark tries to get Tammy an exotic animal, only to have his face ripped off by the newly purchased chimpanzee; Mark and his stepson Darrenfind themselves on a trek deep into the Jersey woods where they encounter the Jersey Devil; Tammy gets upset that an elite country club only takes men, so Mark joins it to supposedly change things from within; and Mark buys a Superbowl ring and leverages it to get special treatment at the Eagles game, only to wind up in Eagles jail.

 

Universal Basic Guys is co-produced by FOX Entertainment through its Emmy Award-winning animation studio Bento Box Entertainment and Sony Pictures Television. Dan Lagana (American Vandal) is executive producer and showrunner for Season One. Rob Rosell (Dave, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia) will serve as showrunner for Season Two.
