Coming this fall is the web series Squad 85 featuring Parvesh Cheena, Rizwan Manji, Danny Pudi. In 1985, The LAPD experimented with a secret Time-Travel Division, catapulting 4 of LA’s finest 25 years into the future… That future is now.
A rookie cop joins a rouge squad to fight crime. Squad 85 looks to take a comedic spin on A-Team, Charlies Angels, and 21 Jump Street. Characters in the series include Wheels (the brains), Rusty (the heartthrob), Bronx (the muscle), Bobby (the rookie), Tori (the master of disguises), the Chief (undercover Asian woman), and Rickman (the arch-villain).

- Rizwan Manji plays the assistant principal of Dukakis High School with some secrets of his own
- Sonal Shah is a local news reporter, who to her chagrin the most-viewed bloopers in YouTube History
