NEW YORK, Oct. 21 (UPI) — Comedy Central says it has ordered a new series called Detroiters starring Sam Richardson and Tim Robinson.
The announcement was made Tuesday by Kent Alterman, the cable television network’s president of original programming.
The 10-episode weekly, scripted series is executive produced, created and written by Richardson, Robinson, Joe Kelly and Zach Kanin, and executive produced by Broadway Video and Jason Sudeikis.
“The creative team on Detroiters is so ridiculously funny, we’re not even sure we deserve them,” Alterman said in a statement.
Real-life Detroit natives Richardson and Robinson will star as “small-time ad men who aspire to help turn their hometown back into the glittering jewel of the Midwest that it once was,” a synopsis said.
