Season 2 of the hit web-comedy THE RESIDULAS will debut exclusively on BroadwayWorld on June, 16th. The show, from husband and wife team Michael Paul Smith and Gillian Pensavalle, takes a look at the funny, often times bizarre, world of commercial auditions. In addition to the entire first season cast returning, Season 2 will feature guest stars Horatio Sanz (SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE), Jenna Leigh Green (WICKED, SABRINA THE TEENAGE WITCH), and Michael Torpey (LATE NIGHT WITH JIMMY FALLON, hundreds of commercials). 

Last week, Michael Paul Smith and Gillian Pensavalle, the co-creators and stars of BroadwayWorld's newest webseries partnership THE RESIDUALS were guests on the popular podcast New York Cine Radio. The husband-and-wife pair talk about the upcoming second season, joining the BWW family, and the new BREAKING BAD prequel, BETTER CALL SAUL!

In October, BroadwayWorld's webseries partner THE RESIDUALS completed a successful $20,000 KickStarter campaign to help fund their second season. Soon after, husband and wife co-creators Michael Paul Smith and Gillian Pensavalle began shooting Season Two; which will guest star SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE's Horatio Sanz and WICKED and SABRINA, THE TEENAGE WITCH's Jenna Leigh Green. Currently, Pensavalle, who serves as the series' editor, is neck deep in footage, but she took some time earlier this week to update the show's supporters:

If you are a regular reader of BroadwayWorld, you should know that the fantastic comedy webseries THE RESIDUALS is currently in pre-production for their second season exclusively here on BroadwayWorld. As part of their preparations, they are in the middle of a KickStarter campaign, and creators Michael Paul Smith and Gillian Pensavalle are thanking their supporters in a pretty unusual way. They are making videos for KickStarter contributors that include classic jokes from a 70-year-old joke book edited by Eddie Cantor. Now where else are you going to get that kind of 'Thank You?' And let's be honest, Gillian's reactions are just as funny as the jokes themselves.
