Dhillon and Lee Collaborate Again on New Vertical Series "Unleeshed"

Alisha Dhillon, a rising figure in comedy, is once again collaborating with accomplished creator Quentin Lee on a new project. The duo, both previously involved with the award-winning program "Comedy Invasion," are set to launch a vertical series, "Unleeshed," which Dhillon has both written and will headline as its star. According to Variety, the upcoming series will be available globally on the streaming platform Asian American Movies (AAM.tv), with an anticipated premiere around Thanksgiving in 2026. This venture marks a significant reunion for Dhillon and Lee, building on their prior successful partnership. Their previous collaboration, "Comedy Invasion," earned a Canadian Screen Award, highlighting their established creative synergy. The narrative of "Unleeshed" is centered within the Los Angeles stand-up comedy circuit. Dhillon’s role in the series will depict a character navigating the challenges and triumphs of this competitive world, a setting she is intimately familiar with given her own background in comedy. The vertical format of the series suggests an innovative approach to storytelling, optimized for mobile viewing experiences. Quentin Lee brings extensive experience to the project, having recently directed "Slash/Back," an Inuit alien invasion film, and having produced another feature, "Chopsticks." His involvement as a co-creator underscores his diverse contributions to various cinematic and television endeavors. This partnership aims to leverage their combined talents to deliver engaging content to a global audience, particularly focusing on the reach of AAM.tv. Asian American Movies (AAM.tv) is poised to serve as the exclusive global distributor for "Unleeshed," further cementing its role as a platform for diverse voices and storytelling. The choice of AAM.tv for a worldwide release indicates a strategic move to tap into a broad international viewership for the series, especially given the Thanksgiving 2026 timeframe for its debut. The project is currently in the development phase, with production details to be announced.
