Detroiters
Created by Zach Kanin, Joe Kelly, Sam Richardson, Tim Robinson
A warm, energetic buddy comedy about two underdogs chasing ambition and civic pride in Detroit, built on affection between its leads rather than conflict or stakes.
Best friends and fledgling ad men Sam and Tim may not have the money, connections or talent that the big guys do, but they have ambition out the wazoo. Together, they’re out to build a local advertising empire and restore their home city of Detroit to its former glory in this new show from executive producers Lorne Michaels and Jason Sudeikis.
