People of Earth centers on skeptical
journalist Ozzie Graham (Wyatt Cenac) who
investigates a support group to write about the
member's supposed alien encounters. The more he digs
into their oddball claims, however, the more he
realizes a semblance of truth to their stories and,
possibly, even signs that point to his own alien
abduction. The onetime outsider now finds himself a
part of this eclectic group of misfits, all the
while struggling with the idea of knowing that life
could exist beyond our world. Gina Morrison (Ana
Gasteyer), a part-time therapist, runs the support
group, which meets in the community room of Our Lady
of Sorrows in the small town of Beacon, renting the
space through Father Doug (Oscar Nuñez).
Produced by Conaco LLC in
association with Warner Horizon Television,
People of Earth is set to premiere on
Halloween night, Monday, Oct. 31, at 9 p.m. (ET/PT)
across TBS's linear, mobile and digital platforms.
