Joshua Funk is scoring the upcoming TV Land original series Teachers. The show is based on the web series of the same title and stars the improv group the Katydids – Caitlin Barlow, Katy Colloton, Cate Freedman, Kate Lambert, Katie O’Brien and Katie Thomas. The comedy follows six elementary school teachers who try to mold young minds, even though they don’t really seem to have their own lives together at all. Alison Brie (Community) is executive producing the project with showrunners Ian Roberts & Jay Martel (Get Hard, Key and Peele), as well as Matt Miller. Funk is best known for composing the music for Comedy Central’s Key and Peele, for which he received an Emmy Award nomination in 2014. Teachers will premiere on January 13, 2016 and will air every Wednesday night on TV Land. For updates on the comedy, visit the official show website.
