Mark and Jay Duplass have had an interesting ride at HBO. Their dramedy “Togetherness” was cancelled after just two seasons, while “Animals,” the adult animated comedy series they executive produce, recently wrapped up its sophomore season. But under their deal with the premium cable network, the Duplass Brothers will debut another original effort this summer.
Set in a single room of an average American motel, “Room 104” is an anthology comedy that tells a different story of the various characters who pass through it in each episode. The first season of the series features a long list of actors including James Van Der Beek, Mae Whitman, Philip Baker Hall, Spencer Garrett, Davie-Blue, and Jay Duplass.

Will this be a hit? HBO had modest success with another high concept offering “High Maintenance” last year and it will be interesting to see if viewers take to this show as well. We’ll find out when “Room 104” checks into HBO on July 28th.
