Tommy Davidson returns as Varnell Hill in new Paramount+ series

The Varnell Hill Show Tommy Davidson Martin Paramount+ workplace comedy

Tommy Davidson is returning to his iconic character, Varnell Hill, in the new Paramount+ workplace comedy ‘The Varnell Hill Show’, which premieres on September 1. The eight-episode series serves as a spin-off to the classic sitcom ‘Martin’, reuniting Davidson with longtime collaborator Martin Lawrence, who serves as an executive producer.

The series follows Varnell Hill as he manages a long-running late-night talk show while navigating a rapidly evolving media landscape shaped by social media and technological shifts. The plot explores the chaos of a modern writers’ room, interactions with network executives, and the personal challenges of maintaining a television empire.

Produced in association with BET Studios, the show features a cast including Kym Whitley, Wendy Raquel Robinson, and Nick Cafero, with special appearances by Lawrence and various guest stars. The production utilizes satire, cutaways, and fourth-wall breaks to blend nostalgia with contemporary workplace comedy.
