In addition to the second season of HarmonQuest (“Season Two: Part One” is out July 29th), Seeso just announced premiere dates and details for four more new shows, including the highly anticipated There’s…Johnny!, an experimental period piece from producer Paul Reiser that follows a Tonight Show intern through the 70s scene.
