AMC's new companion talk show, "Unapologetic with Aisha Tyler" debuts live on Monday, June 4th at 11pm ET/PT, immediately following two back-to-back episodes of AMC's new original series "Dietland." The show will then move to its regular weekly timeslot of 10:00 pm ET the following week.
On the debut episode, Aisha Tyler is joined by series star, Joy Nash, Executive Producer, Marti Noxon and feminist writer, Lindy West. Second episode guests include: series starJulianna Margulies, women's rights attorney, author and activist Gloria Allred, along with actress and comedian Yvette Nicole Brown.
Additional guests throughout the season include: Charlize Theron, Laverne Cox, Margaret Cho, Erin Darke, Tamara Tunie, Alyssa Mastromonaco, and more.
Produced for AMC by Embassy Row ("Talking Dead," "Beyond Stranger Things," "Watch What Happens Live"), the unscripted series is hosted by Tyler ("Criminal Minds," "Archer"). Unlike a conventional after show confined to the companion series itself, "Unapologetic" will feature Tyler leading a topical discussion around the broader, female-centric issues and themes that "Dietland" explores. Tyler will be talking with celebrity fans, series actors and producers, as well as relevant journalists, writers, comedians and other tastemakers. Embassy Row's Michael Davies, Tammy Johnston and Amanda McPhillips serve as executive producers.
Based on Sarai Walker's 2015 best-selling, critically acclaimed novel of the same name, "Dietland" is a wickedly funny and extraordinarily timed satire about Plum Kettle, a ghost-writer for the editor of one of New York's hottest fashion magazines. Struggling with self-image and fed up with how she's treated by her boss and society, Plum sets out on a wildly complicated road to self-awakening. At the same time, everyone is buzzing over news reports about men, accused of sexual abuse and assault, who are disappearing and meeting untimely, violent deaths. Equal parts revenge fantasy and a journey to self-acceptance, "Dietland" is a darkly comedic story that explores a multitude of issues faced by women today.
The series stars Joy Nash ("The Mindy Project," "Twin Peaks") as Plum Kettle, and Golden Globe® and Emmy® Award-winner Julianna Margulies ("The Good Wife," "ER") as Kitty Montgomery. Marti Noxon ("Mad Men," "UnREAL,") serves as executive producer, writer, showrunner and directs multiple episodes on the series.
