The Lonely Island Are Back with a Mysterious New Netflix Project

Premiering on Netflix tonight at midnight, comedy trio The Lonely Island are back with, well, something.

Teasing the new project on their Twitter, a six-second video clip leaves just about everything to the audience’s imagination. Billed it as a “visual poem,” the group’s new project will likely include the absurd rapping Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone are so well-known for. Given that the project is premiering on Netflix, one can’t help but wonder if the trio are diving into a television series or feature film, or if this is more of a one-off comedy special sort of deal.

Recently, Samberg has been making waves on NBC’s beloved Brooklyn Nine-Nine, while Schaffer and Taccone have been venturing into their own projects. Recent projects from the trio have included the song “Super Cool,” a collaboration with Beck and Robyn that was featured on the soundtrack for The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part. Prior to that, the group released “Why Not Me?” in 2018, a song they claimed was rejected from that year’s Oscars. (The trio also produced I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson, which is basically the best show on TV, probably ever, so we felt the need to mention that.-Ed.)
