The Varnell Hill Show: Paramount+ is delivering with a wildly unexpected Martin spin-off

Low-key? I completely forgot about Tommy Davidson’s presence on ‘Martin’ way back in the 90’s but how about coming up with a clever spin-off featuring his character Varnell Hill? Wild.

It’s really happening and how about even having Martin Lawrence executive producing this? Insane.

Nearly three decades after audiences first met him, Varnell Hill is stepping back into the spotlight — and he's determined to prove he's still the star of the show. Set behind the scenes of a long-running late-night talk show, The Varnell Hill Show follows Varnell (Davidson) as he fights to stay relevant in a rapidly changing entertainment landscape. Between network executives eager to modernize the show, a chaotic writers' room, celebrity guests, family drama, and his own outsized ego, Varnell quickly discovers that keeping a television empire together may be harder than building one in the first place. Starring Tommy Davidson and executive produced by Martin Lawrence. The Varnell Hill Show streams exclusively on Paramount+ September 1.
