BET today announced the greenlight of Manny Halley Productions’ LOT PATROL, a new original comedy series. The series offers a laugh-out-loud look at Hollywood from a perspective the industry rarely lets you see.
A mismatched squad of eccentric security guards patrols the chaotic backlot of a major Hollywood studio, where they wrangle unhinged actors, rogue crew members, and their own wildly dysfunctional personal lives. Shot in a sharp-witted mockumentary style, LOT PATROL blends absurd encounters, razor-sharp urban humor, and unexpectedly heartfelt moments, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the industry through the eyes of those barely holding it together.
“LOT PATROL shines a light on the people behind the scenes who keep Hollywood running, told with humor, heart, and a bit of chaos,” said Halley. “It’s a fresh, culturally rooted take on the industry, and we’re excited to partner with BET to bring this story to life.”
LOT PATROL stars DeRay Davis (21 Jump Street, Semi-Pro), Carl Anthony Payne, (Martin, House Party), Tamera Kissen (White Men Can’t Jump, House Party), Darius McCrary (Family Matters, Transformers), and Skeet Carter, TK Kirkland, Alex Thomas, Nick Nervies, Dawn Raven, Iyana Halley, and G Thang. Erik White directs, with Ernest L. Dancy and Manny Halley serving as chief writers.
Together, they bring to life a comedy series rooted in BET’s pillars of community, culture, and connection, finding all three in the most unlikely crew: underpaid dreamers, washed-up has-beens, and borderline con artists just trying to hold it together on the world’s most chaotic lot.
