Computer School, From The Creators Of I Think You Should Leave, Heading For HBO Max

The pilot will be directed by Andrew Gaynord, who previously worked with Kanin and Robinson on their show “Detroiters,” which starred Robinson and Sam Richardson (another “I Think You Should Leave” alum) as ad men in (surprise) Detroit. Beyond that, Gaynord has directed a few Netflix comedy series, including “The Characters” (which features a sketch episode by Robinson) and “Haters Back Off!.” Details for the rest of the cast and crew are scant, but we do know that “Computer School” was originally sold to Hulu who ended up passing on the script before HBO Max jumped in the mix.

If this does spell the end for “I Think You Should Leave,” at the very least, Robinson and Kanin are replacing it with a show that has the capacity to be just as funny. Also, it’ll be interesting to see if “Computer School” feels more like “Detroiters” or if it maintains the pure unadulterated chaos of “I Think You Should Leave.” Hopefully, it’s a mix of the two, a show that marries the best of both worlds. 

Whatever happens to Robinson and Kanin’s Netflix show, no one can ever stop us from sloppin’ ’em up.
