Amusing Trailer for Alan Tudyk’s CON MAN Season 2 and New Series Details
If you’re a fan of Alan Tudyk’s Con Man series then you’ll want to check out this new teaser trailer that premiered at Comic-Con. It features Tudyk’s character, Wray Nerely, dressed up as an astronaut walking down a hallway with a The Right Stuff kind of attitude. It also teases the character as a train wreck that will be fun to watch.
Con Man is a comedy series that amusingly follows Alan Tudyk and Nathan Fillion as parodies of themselves as they travel from one geek convention to another. It’s packed with funny stories and experiences that they’ve had as they live the life of a Con Man. The series is also packed full of awesome cameos.
The first season had some fun moments, and I’m looking forward to Season 2. While at Comic-Con, Tudyk explained that Season 2 is a musical version of John Steinbeck’s classic novel Of Mice and Men, and it’s titled “I’m With Stupid.” Tudyk explained at the Con Man panel that this idea was inspired by conversations he’s had with Lou Ferrigno.
He says that they eventually started talking about wanting to work together and one time he found himself in a conversation with Ferrigno talking about Of Mice and Men, and in regards to that, Tudyk explains, “That one little thing spawned all of that craziness.” Tudyk went on to reveal that Ferrigno will play the George character from Of Mice and Men and Tudyk is playing the Lenny type character. “There’s no one else who could have done it. Without Lou, it doesn’t happen.”
Sounds like this second season could be pretty damn funny! The show will obviously continue to make fun of the geek convention culture. The creator explains, “There are so many more things to write about. [You walk around a con and say] ‘This is the only place that would happen.’ Events you want to exploit for comedy because the stakes are so high and magic can happen.“
Con Man season two will premiere on Comic-Con HQ in November.
