Hulu Orders New Steve Levitan Comedy

Hulu has ordered to series the original comedy Reboot, from creator and executive producer Steve Levitan and 20th Television.

The series will star Judy Greer, Keegan-Michael Key and Johnny Knoxville. The comedy begins when Hulu reboots an early 2000s family sitcom, forcing its dysfunctional cast back together. Now they must deal with their unresolved issues in today’s fast-changing world.

Levitan will serve as writer, executive producer and showrunner. John Enbom, Danielle Stokdyk and Jeff Morton also serve as executive producers.

Hulu’s head of scripted content, Jordan Helman, said: “Steve’s incredible track record speaks for itself. Modern Family was brilliant and massively appealing, making millions upon millions of viewers laugh week-after-week and quickly becoming a global sensation. We’re honored that Hulu will be home to Steve’s return to television with Reboot, and given our slate of successful comedies such as Only Murders in the Building, Pen15, Ramy and more, we know our viewers will devour this hilariously meta satire.”

20th Television President Karey Burke added: “Steve Levitan is a comedy genius, and his idea for Reboot is as hilarious as it is timely. We’re thrilled that our friends at Hulu love this sly, wildly funny look at the television comedy business as much as we do. And the spectacular cast Steve’s assembled speaks to both the quality of the writing and the appeal of this platform as a home for smart, high-quality television. Everyone jumped at the chance to come on board.”

Levitan commented: “After working 30 years in TV comedy, this is both my love letter to sitcoms and, if I’m being honest, much-needed therapy.”
