BANG’s Timo Elliston Scores Inside Amy Schumer for Paramount +

BANG NY composer Timo Elliston recently completed the score for the new season of Inside Amy Schumer on Paramount+ - the series is returning after a six-year hiatus. Season 5 premiered two episodes this Thursday, Oct. 20, with remaining episodes dropping weekly on Paramount+ in the U.S. and internationally in Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom.

Paramount+ has already released two new sketches, Colorado and Home Spanx as well as the Season 5 Official Trailer.

Announcing the series’ return, Schumer says she, “Wanted to bring back Inside Amy Schumer to burn any remaining bridges. It’s better than ever. Well, not as good as season three. But close.”

Elliston teamed up with Ray Angry of The Roots to co-compose the score. The pair also scored Schumer’s recent Hulu dramedy series, Life & Beth. On composing for sketch comedy, Elliston says: “Writing for Inside Amy Schumer is like a musical decathlon. Within one episode you might pivot from a horror sketch, to an earnest holiday movie, to writing film noir jazz for a sketch called Fart Park.”

In addition to the score, Elliston and Angry composed a new theme for this season; and they produced a featured song for each episode written by comedy writer Ron Weiner (30 Rock).

Inside Amy Schumer is produced by MTV Entertainment Studios and executive produced by Amy Schumer, Daniel Powell, Kevin Kane and Bernie Kaminski. Ryan McFaul returns as the series’ director.
