Production

Development

On January 14, 2018, it was announced that Crackle was developing a new half-hour comedy series written and executive produced by Rob Riggle entitled Rob Riggle's Jet Ski Academy.[2][3]

On March 29, 2018, it was announced that Crackle had given the show, now titled Rob Riggle's Ski Master Academy, a series order consisting of a first season of eight episodes. The show was created and written by Riggle who is also set to serve as an executive producer alongside Jonathan Stern, Keith Quinn, Bennett Webber, and Chris Pizzi. Production companies involved in the series include Sonar Entertainment and Abominable Pictures.[1] On July 10, 2018, it was announced that the series would premiere on August 23, 2018.[4]

Casting

Alongside the series order announcement, it was confirmed that the main cast would include Riggle, Billy Merritt, Britt Baron, Eliza Coupe, Dave (Gruber) Allen, Alison Rich, Carl Tart, Samm Levine, and Rizwan Manji.[1] On July 10, 2018, it was announced that Dermot Mulroney, Christopher McDonald, Noël Wells, David Arquette, Jamie-Lynn Sigler, Jamie Chung, and Haley Joel Osment would guest star in the series.[4]

Filming

Principal photography for the first season took place in Malibu, California.[1]

Release

On July 27, 2018, the first trailer for the series was released.[5]

Reception

In a positive review, Decider's Joel Keller praised the series saying, "Rob Riggle’s Ski Master Academy is a loopy combination of self-awareness, improv craziness, and meta metaness. Does it work all the time? No. But there’s a reason why shows of this ilk, starring Riggle, Scheer, or any combination of their early-’00s UCB alumni buddies is usually good for a guffaw or two: these folks have been doing improv together for 20 years, and the chemistry and ease is always apparent when they perform together."[6]

gollark: PotatOS has superglobals, which might affect this.
gollark: I don't think that would do anything.
gollark: *Technically*, though, as long as you keep basic I/O - which is necessary for the lua prompt to function - you can implement a "shell" or something on top of what you have.
gollark: You can't meddle with them for obvious security reasons.
gollark: Not entirely!
