SAN JOSE, Calif. — April 30, 2024 — Today, Roku, America's #1 TV streaming platform*, announced the greenlight of the new scripted comedy series "Tightrope!" starring Emmy and SAG Award-winning actor Ty Burrell and executive produced by Bryan Cranston. Through reimagined dialogue and a new lead actor in Ty Burrell, "Tightrope!" reshapes the drama of the vintage 1950s series into a slapstick comedy, where Burrell plays a lone wolf detective following cases city to city while he searches for his long-lost love who got away.
加利福尼亞州聖何塞——2024年4月30日——今天，美國 #1 電視流媒體平台*Roku宣佈爲新的劇本喜劇系列《Tightrope！》開綠燈由艾美獎和SAG獲獎演員泰·伯勒爾主演，由布萊恩·克蘭斯頓監製。通過重新構想的對話和泰·伯勒爾的新男主角《Tightrope！》將這部 20 世紀 50 年代復古系列的戲劇重塑爲一部鬧劇喜劇，在這部喜劇中，伯勒爾扮演一個孤狼偵探，一個接一個城市地追蹤案件，一邊尋找失散已久但逃脫的愛人。
"Since 'Tightrope!' is a comedy about a detective (and finding a Wallenda seemed off brand), we're thrilled to have Ty Burrell and Bryan Cranston join us at Roku for this imaginative, funny series," said Charlie Collier, President, Roku Media. "What a joy to welcome Ty and Bryan to the Roku Originals lineup, along with the Moonshot and Desert Whale teams and our partners at Village Roadshow Television. We're pleased to add 'Tightrope!' to our growing Originals slate to delight our audiences."
“自從'Tightrope！'以來是一部關於偵探的喜劇（發現瓦倫達似乎不合時宜），我們很高興泰·伯勒爾和布萊恩·克蘭斯頓加入我們Roku的這個富有想象力的滑稽系列，” Roku Media總裁查理·科利爾說。“很高興歡迎Ty和Bryan加入Roku Originals陣容，還有Moonshot和Desert Whale團隊以及我們在Village Roadshow Television的合作伙伴。我們很高興添加 “Tightrope！”加入我們不斷增加的原創作品名單，以取悅我們的觀衆。”
"I'm so thrilled to be working with Bryan, and Roku Originals, on this bonkers (in the best way) idea of a show," said Ty Burrell.
泰·伯勒爾說：“我很高興能與布萊恩和Roku Originals合作研究這個瘋狂的（以最好的方式）的節目創意。”
"I was inspired by the on-the-nose old drama series of the '50s to mess with the whole thing and create a new version of a lunatic comedy, never seen before in a TV series. 'Tightrope!' is a result of a fever dream, and conceived over a bowl of chili at Chasen's, savvy?" said Bryan Cranston.
“我受到50年代那部引人入勝的老劇集的啓發，想把整部劇搞得一團糟，創作了一部在電視劇中從未見過的瘋狂喜劇的新版本。'走鋼絲！'是發燒夢的結果，是在 Chasen's 喝一碗辣椒時受孕的，精明？”布萊恩·克蘭斯頓說。
"Tightrope!" will be produced by Moonshot Entertainment, Desert Whale Productions, and Village Roadshow Televison. Bryan Cranston and James Degus will serve as executive producers for Moonshot Entertainment. Ty Burrell will executive produce for Desert Whale Productions. Adam Small and Fax Bahr will also executive produce and direct the series. The series will be overseen by Morgan Pichinson on behalf of Roku Originals.
