Freeform plans to add talk show

Move over, Pat Robertson — Freeform wants to be the next network to enter the late-night comedy business.

As part of its upfront announcement for the 2016-17 TV season, the Disney/ABC-owned cable channel said it’s developing a talk show, called “Later Bitches,” from “Daily Show” Executive Producer Jennifer Flanz and Elise Terrell, another producer on the Comedy Central program.

Freeform, formerly known as ABC Family, describes the show — which has no premiere date or talent attached to it yet — as a “Sex and the City” version of late-night talk show hosted by “a group of smart, alluring and dynamic ladies having fun on their own terms.”

The project, if it comes to fruition, would bring another woman’s point of view to the male-dominated late-night domain. Since the departure of “Chelsea Lately” from E!, “Full Frontal with Samantha Bee,” which airs only once a week on TBS, is the sole female voice in topical late-night comedy.

The provocative title and premise also makes it a curious fit with Freeform’s current late-night occupant — “The 700 Club.” The talk and news program is hosted by Robertson, the Christian Broadcasting Network founder and religious conservative.

A spokesperson for Freeform said no decision had been made on whether “Later Bitches” will air before or after “The 700 Club,” which is shown at 11 p.m.

The ABC Family name was changed in January to Freeform to indicate the channel’s move to target millennial viewers.
