Actress/Comedienne Rhonda Shear has set out to recapture the irreverent, playful spirit that made her campy cult classic TV, USA: Up All Night, a late-night favorite in the 90s with the launch of The Up All Night Network on Roku. Previewed earlier this summer, The Up All Night Network officially kicks off on Friday, September 11th with 24 hour programming plus on-demand collections featuring independent films, comedy shows, horror content, podcasts and music videos, all anchored by Rhonda Shear and the retro content fans crave.
As part of the network’s new show lineup, September 11th also marks the first episode launch of an all-new season of Rhonda Shear’s Up All Night reboot show kicking off with a show featuring the 2025 film OnlyFangs starring Kansas Bowling, Nina Lanee Kent and Jessa Jupiter Flux, directed by Paul Ragsdale and Angelica De Alba. New episodes Rhonda Shear Up All Night will premiere bi-monthly on the channel featuring full, uncensored films from the network’s growing collection of cult movies and franchises including Rick Sloane’s Vice Academy series, Chris Seaver’s Warlock Home Video catalog and films from legendary cult filmmaker Jim Wynorski. In addition, the network will also be home to episodes of the original 90s USA: Up All Night show alongside an expanding lineup of independent comedy, horror and action films made for both emerging filmmakers and established favorites.
As part of The Up All Night Network’s varied programming, the Scream Queens Collection will be a horror hub celebrating the women who have defined and continue to shape the genre, each with her own dedicated mini-hub for movies, appearances and interviews. The inaugural Scream Queens class includes Linnea Quigley, Michelle Bauer, Jessa Jupiter Flux, Brinke Stevens, Felissa Rose, Jennifer Nagle and Mel Heflin, with Nagle also bringing her beloved Malvolia character to the network in an all-new weekly series. Other debuts include Midnight at Refinery, starring Miss Jenna, a weekly series that takes viewers into the “haunted classroom” to discover standout independent short films and give emerging filmmakers a shot at a national streaming audience.
Acclaimed yet unconventional television rounds out The Up All Night Network with shows including the multi-award-winning Smothered, starring comedian Jason Stuart; The Clown House, starring Belle Éclair; Danger! Health Films, starring former Village People front man Randy Jones; and the cult adventure series Astro Space Hero, starring Jerry Williams. In addition, viewers can browse some of independent entertainment’s most distinctive podcasts on screen, including The ABA Podcast, Alma Langlois, Video Tasties, The Flux Film Society, Zombiepalooza Radio and Between the Sheets with Rhonda Shear.
Programming blocks will also feature a growing stand-up library showcasing rising talent alongside stars including Lewis Black, Kevin Hart and Erik Myers. Music videos with the weekly Up All Night Hot Hits, give emerging and established artists a dedicated national platform for musicians from across the country who submit their videos for a coveted slot.
Rhonda Shear says this is more than a simple reboot; she wants The Up All Night Network to introduce the spirit of 90’s television to new generation of late-night viewers with 24 hour programming and bingeable on-demand content that brings the scary, the funny, and the over-the-top films and shows viewers love all together in one place.
