The next series to get a green light at Hulu? Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg's Future Man.
Deadline reports that several outlets were vying to grab the half-hour comedy series. The script, written by frequent collaborators Ariel Shaffir and Kyle Hunter (they co-wrote the upcoming animated film Sausage Party with Goldberg and Rogen), was originally set to be a movie, after executive producer Matt Tolmach purchased it four years ago as part of a Sony movie deal. The script is now going to be shaped into a pilot, and focuses on a janitor/renowned gamer who must save the world from extinction. We're guessing weed and dick jokes will also be involved.A Hulu representative confirmed that the deal is happening. Future Man is the latest is a string of impressive titles for Hulu, from new comedy Difficult People and Jason Reitman's upcoming Casual to the return of The Mindy Project.
A premiere date has not been set for the pilot yet.
