Steve Carell HBO Comedy Show Enlists Danielle Deadwyler to Cast

by

Actress Danielle Deadwyler, who was nominated for a BAFTA for her roles in “Till” and “The Piano Lesson,” has been chosen to star in the upcoming HBO comedy series produced by Steve Carell. This project is being developed by experienced television producers Bill Lawrence (known for “Ted Lasso”) and Matt Tarses (“Scrubs”).

In the upcoming setup, Deadwyler is cast as the leader of the English Department at a liberal arts institution, who’s not only a teacher of poetry but also a renowned author. She is expected to share an immediate connection with Carell’s character.

In my perspective as an avid viewer, this show is a humorous single-camera production, unfolding on a bustling university campus. It primarily revolves around a unique and complex bond between a writer and his daughter.

Who is involved in the untitled Steve Carell HBO comedy?

Titled yet, Steve Carell stars in an upcoming comedy, co-executive produced by Bill Lawrence (of Ted Lasso fame) and Matt Tarses (Scrubs alum), who are also penning the first episode. Alongside Carell and Deadwyler, Charly Clive (The Lazarus Project) and Phil Dunster (Ted Lasso) join the cast. In addition to headlining, Carell is also executive producing alongside Liza Katzer and Jeff Ingold. The series hails from Warner Bros. Television.

In the latest development, Carell has taken on another significant TV role following his collaboration with Tina Fey in Netflix’s series The Four Seasons. After captivating audiences as Michael Scott in The Office, and demonstrating his versatility in dramas like The Morning Show and The Patient, this new project will mark his return to comedy, following the conclusion of Netflix’s Space Force.
