Hulu has ordered a 10-episode second season of the western comedy “Quick Draw,” one of the streaming service’s top summer shows. During its first season, the half-hour show from John Lehr and Nancy Hower (“10 Items or Less,” “Jailbait”) was typically among the top 10 most-watched shows on Hulu each week.

Just as Mitch Hurwitz, Jim Vallely, and Dean Lorey begin writing the new 10-episode season of the once-cancelled-and-recently-internet-greenlit Fox television show Arrested Development (scheduled to air on Netflix sometime in 2013), Crackle greenlights another entrant into the Long-Form-Content-of-Television-Quality-but-Distributed-Online fray. Andrew Wallenstein at Variety reports the digital network, studio, and destination for television programs, movies, and a healthy amount of original web series just ordered six episodes of a half-hour anthology series dubbed The Unkown. Sons of Anarchy producer Chris Collins and the Co-Head of Fox Writers Studio Steve Tzirlin are on board to executive produce. The Unkown will be in the vein of The X-Files, Creepshow, and/or Twilight Zone and is scheduled scheduled to go into production in March for a 2012 release. That’s almost a full year after Eric Berger, Executive Vice President of Digital Networks at Sony Pictures Television, announced Crackle would make a pivot into long-form, but still male-leaning programming.

Crackle Web series "Jailbait" takes a grab the ankles humorous look at life behind bars. This new improvised original comedy web series premiered on April 1, 2011 and will include 10 episodes of about 3-6 minutes long each. John Lehr (TBS' 10 Items or Less) stars as Oswald "Ozzie" O'Connor, as his character inadvertently is busted in a sting operation and is now facing the big house. The humor is not family-friendly stuff, intended for mature audiences as Ozzie is banging behind bars with hardened gang members and murderers. Hilarity ensues as one would imagine. All the imagined joys of prison life are spoofed, with cavity search segments and the like.
