Expectation has secured an order for Intelligence<\/em>, a comedy series starring David Schwimmer (Friends<\/em>, American Crime Story: The People v. OJ Simpson<\/em>) and Nick Mohammed (The Martian<\/em>, Christopher Robin<\/em>), for Sky One.<\/p>\n

In addition to starring in the six-part series, Schwimmer will serve as an executive producer. His co-star, Mohammed, will executive produce as well, in addition to writing for the show. Intelligence<\/em> is a co-production between Expectation and Dark Harbor Stories. It will be internationally distributed by Sky Vision.<\/p>\n

Set in the U.K.\u2019s government headquarters in Cheltenham, Intelligence<\/em> is a workplace comedy series. Schwimmer\u2019s character in the show is a national security agent maverick, who teams up with Mohammed\u2019s inept and tactless computer analyst to tackle cybercrime.<\/p>\n

Nerys Evans, Expectation\u2019s creative director for comedy, said:\u00a0\u201cEven\u00a0though the stakes are really high for the team fighting cyber-crime, our six-part comedy series reveals the reality is not dissimilar to any other office environment, from temperamental photocopiers to meeting rooms being double booked. David Schwimmer and Nick Mohammed have a fantastic \u2018odd\u00a0couple\u2019 chemistry and the scripts are brilliantly funny. We can\u2019t wait to see the world of Intelligence come to life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Schwimmer\u00a0commented:\u00a0\u201cI have no idea what this show is about, but if it\u2019s called Intelligence<\/em>, naturally I\u2019m going to be part of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mohammed\u00a0added:\u00a0\u201cGetting to work with David has been an absolute dream come true. He\u2019s collaborative, honest and exquisitely funny, and I couldn\u2019t be more delighted and flattered by his involvement. On saying that, we did initially offer the part to the local shoplifter from Blackpool, but he wasn\u2019t available, sadly. Either way, we hope that everyone at GCHQ is as excited about this series as we are. I presume they were aware of this series being green-lit way before we ever were\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Jon Mountague,\u00a0the head of comedy for Sky Entertainment, said:\u00a0\u201cNick Mohammed has written a brilliantly funny comedy series in Intelligence<\/em>. David and Nick are hilarious together and so perfectly represent the special relationship between our two great nations. I can\u2019t wait.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
