And, as it turns out, they haven’t abandoned their small-screen comedy roots completely. The Russos are teaming with Showtime for a new sitcom about a family of pot dealers. Zach Cregger (The Whitest Kids U’Know) and Moshe Kasher (Another Period) are also on board.
TheWrap reports the Russos are developing the pot comedy at Showtime, but caution that deals for the show aren’t completely done yet. Here’s how they describe the untitled show:
The Russos will write and executive produce along with Kashe and Cregger. Mike Larocca of the Russos’ Getaway Productions banner will serve as a producer. The Russo brothers’ comedy credits are rock-solid. They directed the Arrested Development pilot and returned for several more episodes throughout the series’ run, and served as executive producers and directors on critical faves Community and Happy Endings. Their other credits include the shows Animal Practice, Running Wilde, and LAX, and the films Welcome to Collinwood and You, Me, and Dupree.
