**Episode 183: Humans of the Americas Written by Jim Brandon & Brian Singleton**
This month’s dead pilot is _Humans of the Americas_ by Jim Brandon and Brian Singleton, whose credits include _Animal Control_ (FOX), _Mixed-ish_ (ABC), _Black Monday_ (Showtime), and _Arrested Development_ (Netflix).
**Here’s the logline:** A single camera comedy set in a small town neighborhood, that is actually a human exhibit. At a zoo. Run by robots.
It’s high concept, but not self-limiting—funny, heartfelt, and full of inventive world-building and great character work.
_Humans of the Americas_ was read second at the last live show, following _Dream_ by Lisa Muse Bryant, a musical pilot starring Amber Riley, who earned a standing ovation with her closing number. Despite that tough act to follow, the audience loved _Humans of the Americas_ just as much—and listeners will too.
The live cast includes Christina Anthony (Mixed-ish), Brittany Curran (The Magicians), Cyrina Fiallo ( High Potential), Dan Gregor (The Naked Gun), Tai Leclaire (King of The Hill), Jessica McKenna (Dropout), Jordan Riggs (Dorm Life), Bryan Safi (Throwing Shade), Chris Smith (Dorm Life), Nick Smith (Dorm Life), Stakiah Lynn Washington****(Primo), Cedric Yarbrough (Reno 911), and Andrew Reich with stage direction
The next _Dead Pilots Society_ live show is set for **Sunday, December 7th at 3:00 PM at the Elysian Theater** , featuring a brand-new pilot from the multi-talented **Ginger Gonzaga**. More details coming soon!
