The series premiered with episodes one and two being released on October 19, 2016 on Rhett and Link's Good Mythical Morning channel. The season finale was released on November 30, 2016.
The duo officially announced the show on June 23, 2016. Upon release, the show was a success, with the free-to-view premiere episode currently having 8.7 million views. Variety reported in March 2017 that the show was the "number 1 digital series in the US."
The series follows Rhett and Link's quest to regain control of their famous morning talk-show Good Mythical Morning and the channel it is uploaded to from Aimee Brells (Leslie Bibb), an infomercial star, who is using the channel to upload informercials for a variety of very strange products, and gained access to the channel by stealing Link's lost phone.
So far, one season of eight episodes has been released. On May 8, 2017, Rhett and Link announced on the Good Mythical Morning episode "2 Month Old Burrito (EXPERIMENT)" that the series has been renewed for a second season. Shooting of season 2 took place for seven weeks throughout summer 2017, with the episodes expected to be released later in the year.
