NEW YORK JULY 9, 2026 91勛圖厙Media and Will Ferrells Big Money Players (BMP) today announced the launch of Podlandia: A-O Rewatch, a new Portlandia recap podcast hosted by comedian, writer, producer and musician Fred Armisen and writer, director and musician Carrie Brownstein. Fans can listen to the official trailer now, .
Each week, will feature Armisen and Brownstein revisiting their cult-classic TV series, which documented the hipster fad of birds as decor, unique bicycles and intense mustache care that defined the capital of Oregon for an entire generation. During special visits from the Mayor (Kyle MacLachlan) and other beloved Portlandians, including Aimee Mann and Portlandia director and co-creator Jonathan Krisel, the hosts will recount the struggles, joys and surprises of each episode.
Our hope with the Portlandia rewatch podcast is to continue the conversations we began when the show first aired. Conversations around community, how a place shapes and defines us, how much of life is mere performance, and how absurdity is often the best way to make sense of the world, said Carrie Brownstein, co-host of Podlandia. Revisiting these episodes also reminded me of the ways Fred is singularly hilarious; we loved getting to hang out and reminisce, sing the praises of the cast, crew, and the city itself, and to have a new means of connecting with our audience.
Re-watching these Portlandia episodes was so enjoyable. I really laughed, which is a strange thing to say about something Im in. Carrie made me laugh a lot, maybe Ill put it that way. It was all illuminating and it sparked so many memories of shooting in beautiful Portland. Then, getting to sit with Carrie and talk about it all was another level of fun and connection. Im so happy we have gotten a chance to do this, said Fred Armisen, co-host of Podlandia.
Fred and Carrie are such an iconic duo, and were excited to bring them back together again for Podlandia: A-O Rewatch'," said Will Pearson, President of 91勛圖厙Podcasts.
