Emma Stone and Jonah Hill Are Doing a TV Show

Emma Stone and Jonah Hill, who became stars after appearing together in the 2007 movie Superbad, will reunite for a dark comedy series called Maniac, to be directed by True Detective Season 1 and Beasts of No Nation helmer Cary Fukunaga, Deadline reports.

The series, which is based on a 2014 Norwegian series, is about a man who has fantastical adventures in his dreams but in reality is locked up in a mental institution. Hill and Stone will both play patients in the the institution.

Fukunaga is slated to direct all episodes, as he did with True Detective' s first season.

Maniac is currently in very early stages of development. Stone and Hill -- both Oscar-nominated actors these days -- are finalizing deals, and the project does not currently have a writer. No network is attached, but producers are reportedly shopping it to cable channels and streaming platforms and looking for a straight-to-series order.

This will be the first starring TV role for both Stone and Hill.
