The office alum Steve Carell is returning to the world of television comedy with an untitled half-hour comedy series on HBO. Bill Lawrence AND Matt Tarse wrote the first episode of the series. Both serve as executive producers, with Carell also executive producing in addition to starring.
The untitled, half-hour series has been given a 10-episode order. The official plot states that the show is “set on a college campus, centering on the complicated relationship of an author with his daughter.”
“HBO has long been a standard-bearer for quality TV,” Lawrence said. “Being able to do a show there with Steve Carell is an immediate career highlight for Matt and me. Nothing can go wrong now.”
“We are truly thrilled to partner with the dream team of Steve Carell, Bill Lawrence and Matt Tarses on what is sure to be a brilliant new series,” said Channing Dungey, president and CEO of Warner Bros. Television Group.
“Collectively, they have been at the center of some of the most iconic and successful shows in television history. With thanks to our partners at HBO, we look forward to bringing them together to make the next great comedy.”
This is now the second TV starring role Carell has landed in recent weeks. Prior to this, it was announced that she would star alongside Tina Fey in the upcoming Netflix comedy series The four Seasons.
