“Workaholics” guys are angry that their workday with Paramount+ has been cancelled.
The irony of it all!
Explosion recently reported on the news that the streaming platform canned the movie “Workaholics” because it lacked “global reach,” and it didn’t align with their global strategy.

Now, another actor, who plays a supporting role is listening to the new announcement of Paramount+.
The streaming giant recently announced that the movie “Zoey 101” starring Jamie Lynn Spears and its original cast is coming to Paramount+.
Spears is best known for starring as Zoey Brooks in the Nickelodeon series. The show ended when she got pregnant at 16.

Griffin tweeted the “Zoey 101” news yesterday and threw some very obvious shade at Paramount+.
“Paramount’s global strategy starts here, y’all!” he tweets with a Diversity article about “Zoey 101” news.

Production is underway in North Carolina, and it’s set for release later this year on Paramount+.
What really irked the cast of “Workaholics” was that they were only weeks away from starting production on the film.
Devine took to Twitter to air his grievances with the streaming platform.
“Welp, Paramount + decided to cancel the Workaholics movie. Obviously, this news is the loosest hole. We are supposed to start filming in 5 weeks! P+ told us it didn’t fit their new “global” strategy…We are very disappointed with this decision as we were very excited to…,” he tweeted. “…bring the weird one last time. I’m heartbroken that I can’t work with my best friend anymore. I’m so hurt for the fans, and I’m so hurt for our loyal crew, and other cast members who now have to scramble to find new jobs. We exit to another stream…”

… hopefully we’ll be able to make this really fun movie somewhere else. Tomorrow watch our podcast @podimportant to hear us talk about it. As always, take it for granted, and I’m out. – Fever

He promises that it’s a “really fun movie” that he hopes will be picked up by other streaming giants.
On January 10, they released the “RIP: The Workaholics Movie” episode of their podcast, “This Matters”.
Anderson insisted, “Nothing can stop us.”
“No matter what they throw at us, we’re going to hang in there,” Devine added. “We have to deal with the elephant in the room. We got a call from our manager, Isacc [Horne]that Paramount+ is pulling a ‘Workaholics’ movie.”

He added that when there are three or more people on a call, “it’s bad news
“So basically they’re saying that the Paramount+ strategy, which is something I don’t know, but apparently they’re saying ‘Workaholics’ isn’t global enough and they want a more global reach,” Devine explained. “Our goal is to get it to Netflix or Hulu or Amazon or any other streamer that thinks we’re worth it.”
The man is reading the table, they have prepared the office and they are “building a stage.”
The acting room was taped, every OG “Workaholics” cast saw it.
Devine said the most frustrating thing was the number of crew members they hired, who were under the impression they were being paid for their time on the film, would never have a salary or work again. They all need to find new jobs.
“That was really the worst thing,” he admitted. His fellow actors agreed.
