Emma Stone and Jonah Hill to star in "MANIAC" series...
https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live- ... tar-876755Quote: Emma Stone and Jonah Hill are teaming with True Detective Emmy winner Cary Fukunaga for a TV series.
Produced by Paramount Television and Anonymous Content, the dark comedy is based on 2014 Norwegian comedy series Maniac. A search for a writer is underway with Stone and Hill set to star and Fukunaga set to direct every episode. Paramount TV and Anonymous Content are shopping Maniac, with the goal for a straight-to-series pickup with a potential two-season order.
The original Maniac revolves around Espen, a mental patient at the psychiatric ward who escapes reality and lives in a fantasy world in his mind. In addition to starring, Stone and Hill would exec produce alongside Fukunaga, Anonymous Content's Michael Sugar and Doug Wald.
The comedy hails from Anonymous Content and Fukunaga's overall deals with Paramount. WME packaged the project.
Fukunaga is fresh off Beasts of No Nation, with Maniac set to serve as a reunion for the Emmy-winning director and True Detective producers Anonymous Content.
Oscar nominees Hill (Moneyball, The Wolf of Wall Street) and Stone (Birdman) would also reunite on Maniac after co-starring in feature Superbad. I'm obviously super pumped as I'll watch absolutely anything with Emma in it no matter what. Also am a fan of Hill and the concept sounds fun.

Netflix won the rights to this and has ordered 10 episodes.

Of course Netflix did. This was kinda obvious. Great for them. I am looking forward to it.

Cary Fukunaga.
That's who sells it for me. Though Emma Stone is also a delight.

YOU GUYS. I cannot express how deeply I fell in love with this series. This is, legitimately, one of the most brilliant TV shows to come along in a really long time. Emma Stone and Sally Field deserve Emmys. I binged it all the way through and couldn't stop. I sobbed throughout the last two episodes. It's beautiful, thought-provoking, hilarious, thrilling and gorgeous. Holy fuck. I'm absolutely obsessed with it and need to watch it again.

I didn't love it as much as thompsoncory, but it's a very intriguing and engaging show IMO with some fantastic performances from Stone, Field, Hill and I'd even throw Theroux in there as well. It won't be for everyone though.
