In October 2025, HBO will premiere a new comedy series called 'The Chair Company' from Tim Robinson, the creator behind the hit Netflix show 'I Think You Should Leave.' According to early reviews, the new series is set to deliver Robinson's signature brand of cringe-inducing humor.
Critics have already gotten a glimpse of the show, with many praising it as Robinson's "most bonkers project yet." The Wrap's Chase Hutchinson calls 'The Chair Company' "more than a little horrifying," while IndieWire's Ben Travers says the series captures how easy it is to get lost when desperately trying to be seen. Angie Han of The Hollywood Reporter describes the show as "delightfully unhinged," an intentionally uncomfortable experience that still manages to be relatable.
The series follows Robinson's character Ron, who finds himself caught up in an elaborate conspiracy after an embarrassing incident at work. Liz Shannon Miller of Consequence says the show proves that Robinson's unique voice can sustain a full season of television, with the comedian delivering his best performance yet. Chris Evangelista of SlashFilm adds that Robinson has mastered the art of turning an uncomfortable topic into something uproarious, making a potentially unlikeable man sympathetic.
Whether you're a fan of Robinson's cringe comedy or not, 'The Chair Company' seems poised to deliver another dose of his signature discomfort when it premieres on HBO this October.
