New ‘Dice’ Series Gets Showtime’s First Ever Full Season Launch
Never before has SHOWTIME made an entire series available on its premiere date but on April 10th, the big move will be made, with a bigger than life man, who is starring in a bigger than life series.
DICE will premiere all six episodes on Sunday April 10th on Showtime’s On Demand, and Showtime Anytime services. The show, which was created by Scot Armstrong (Old School, The Hangover Part II) is the perfect Sunday binge watching series. The semi-biographical, loosely based on the life of Dice series takes a look behind the curtain at the man, the legend, Andrew Dice Clay during his time living in the suburbs of Las Vegas. Dice takes place roughly in the years after his massive arena tours, but before he made his television and film comeback on Entourage, in Blue Jasmine and now Vinyl.
You will get to see the Dice you know and love, but you’ll also get to see some other sides. Like Dice dealing with gambling debts, attending a gay wedding, managing his sons’ band, handling setbacks, going full DICE with Adrian Brody, and going on a quest to “boil” (you’ll see).
The series of course stars Andrew Dice Clay at the top, with Kevin Corrigan as Dice’s buddy Milk Shake, and Natasha Leggero who is amazing as Dice’s girlfriend. Lorraine Bracco. Adrien Brody, Michael Rapaport, Wayne Newton, Criss Angel and Rita Rudner appear as guest stars.
All episodes will be available on April 10th streaming on Showtime’s On Demand and Showtime Anytime platforms. The first episode of DICE will also premiere on the traditional Showtime cable tv channel later that evening at 9:30 p.m. ET/PT with each new episode airing on Sundays.
“We’re excited to release DICE in its entirety across our streaming, on demand and authenticated viewing platforms,” said Gary Levine, President of Programming, Showtime Networks Inc. “With its six episode run, we feel this comedy is ideally suited to being consumed all at once. We’re always looking for new ways to make our programming stand-out, and we’re confident that a ‘DICE binge’ will appeal to both fans and skeptics alike, and help spread the word about his very funny new SHOWTIME series.”
