*Announcement Kicks off Fan Events in San Diego, Follows on Heels of the #1
Rated Summer Premiere of Impractical Jokers: British Invasion*

*truTV* has renewed its top-rated series *Impractical Jokers* for a sixth
season, which will guarantee more hidden-camera hijinks from *Sal*, *Joe*,
*Murr* and *Q* on the network through 2017. The announcement was made by
the four stars and lifelong friends – collectively known as The Tenderloins
– Thursday night at the *Hall of Impractical Jokers* during a special live
streamed Q&A fan event in San Diego.

This 26-episode season six order builds on the proven success of the
franchise that continues to grow across all platforms. The series’ most
recent premiere, the hour-long *Impractical Jokers: British Invasion *summer
premiere special, debuted on truTV on July 14 as the *#1 series in its
timeslot among adults 18-34, adults 18-49, men 18-34, and men 18-49*,
according to live+3 data from Nielsen Research. Additionally, *Impractical
Jokers* has amassed a combined social footprint of more than *3.6 million
followers* and generated *163 million total impressions* in the first half
of 2016. The group is also wildly-successful on tour, having played 90
cities in the past year – including three sold out shows at the iconic
Radio City Music Hall – and is currently on a brand new *Impractical Jokers*
“Santiago Sent Us on tour that includes sold out shows at London’s O2
arena and more.

“The continuing multiplatform success and incredible fan engagement we see
around the Impractical Jokers makes this season six order a no-brainer,”
said *Chris Linn, president of truTV*. “Joe, Murr, Q and Sal have
consistently raised the bar on the creativity and fun they bring to the
show each week, and we’re looking forward to what they can dream up for
season six.”

*Impractical Jokers* is currently in its fifth season with new episodes
premiering on truTV Thursdays at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT, with availability on
truTV On Demand, truTV.com and the Watch truTV app the
following day. In every new episode, the Staten Island-natives push each
other to the limit, challenging one another with some of their most
over-the-top antics yet. Ever since high school, the four friends have
dared one another to do ridiculous things in public. Now all grown up, they
are capturing their extreme mischief on hidden camera, complete with
unsuspecting strangers’ amused, confused, or flabbergasted reactions. The
sixth season of *Impractical Jokers *is scheduled to debut in early 2017.

Published

on

 in Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con, Rick Riordan and Disney+ revealed that Daniel Diemer (“Under the Bridge”) will star as fan-favorite cyclops “Tyson” in the epic adventure series “Percy Jackson and the Olympians.” Diemer joins Walker Scobell (Percy Jackson), Leah Sava Jeffries (Annabeth Chase) and Aryan Simhadri (Grover Underwood) as a series regular. The Disney+ Original series from Disney Branded Television and 20th Television will start filming its second season next week in Vancouver.

Season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is based on the second installment of Disney Hyperion’s best-selling book series titled “The Sea of Monsters” by award-winning author Rick Riordan. In the new season, Percy Jackson returns to Camp Half-Blood one year later to find his world turned upside down. His friendship with Annabeth is changing, he learns he has a cyclops for a brother, Grover has gone missing, and camp is under siege from the forces of Kronos. Percy’s journey to set things right will take him off the map and into the deadly Sea of Monsters, where a secret fate awaits the son of Poseidon.

Diemer stars as Tyson – a young Cyclops who grew up all alone on the streets, and finds it difficult to survive in the human world.  Shy and awkward, with a heart almost as big as he is, Tyson soon discovers that Poseidon is his father, which means Percy Jackson is his half-brother… and that Tyson may have finally found a home. 

Diemer recently starred in the Hulu limited series “Under the Bridge” based off the critically acclaimed book of the same name and a tragic true story of a missing teen girl in Vancouver in 1997. He will next star in the indie “Thug” opposite Liam Neeson and Ron Perlman for director Hans Petter Moland. Daniel was recently seen as the lead in the indie “Supercell” opposite Alec Baldwin and Skeet Ulrich and the lead in the film “Little Brother” opposite Phil Ettinger and JK Simmons. Daniel can also be seen in the Netflix series “The Midnight Club” and recently starred as the male lead in the breakout hit Netflix feature “The Half Of It” from producer Anthony Bregman and director Alice Wu. He is a graduate of Victoria Academy of Dramatic Arts in Vancouver.

Created by Rick Riordan and Jonathan E. Steinberg, season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is executive produced by Steinberg and Dan Shotz alongside Rick Riordan, Rebecca Riordan, Craig Silverstein, The Gotham Group’s Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Bert Salke, The Gotham Group’s Jeremy Bell and D.J.
