The comedy will tell the fictionalized story of a recovering alcoholic and substance abuse counselor with an extremely bad attitude about everything. Farrelly and Mort will serve as showrunners for the project, which received a straight-to-series order for ten episodes.<\/p>\n<p>Production for the series is scheduled to begin in early October in Vancouver.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen Peter Farrelly brought this project to us, we knew his unique and edgy writing style he portrays in his films was a perfect fit for our demographic,\u201d said Christopher Long, the senior VP of original content and production at AT&amp;T. \u201cWe can&#8217;t wait to see how it translates to television on our network. We are always looking to attract writers who have distinctive voices. To have the opportunity to work with a dream comedic team like Farrelly and Mort is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that we&#8217;re thrilled to be a part of.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mark Burg and David Guillod of Primary Wave commented: &#8220;Peter Farrelly wrote and directed some of the biggest and most quotable comedies of all time. Bobby Mort won an Emmy as a writer for one of the best late-night shows on television while in the confines of a small, poorly ventilated room under the pressure of a ticking clock. There is no better duo to craft an intoxicating narrative for a beautifully flawed malcontent navigating the misadventures of life. Working with this comedy dream team to produce our first scripted half-hour series is a wish come true.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LOS ANGELES: Filmmaker Peter Farrelly (Dumb and Dumber) and The Colbert Report writer Bobby Mort have teamed up to produce an original half-hour scripted comedy series for AT&amp;T Audience Network.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":291,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[801,802,803],"class_list":["post-7195","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","","category-top-stories","tag-att-audience-network","tag-bobby-mort","tag-peter-farrelly"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>AT&amp;T Audience Network Orders Peter Farrelly &amp;
