    Cooper is attached to co-write, direct, and will also serve as a co-executive producer. Chris Collins will serve as showrunner, executive producer, and will in co-write with Cooper. Smith will executive produce via Westbrook Studios, along with Quincy Jones, Benny Medina, and original series creators Andy and Susan Borowitz. Miguel Melendez and Westbrook Studios’ Terence Carter will also executive produce. Westbrook Studios and Universal Television will produce. UTV was the studio behind the original show as well.

    It looks like, from the announcement video Smith posted, the series is eyeing a 2021 release date ALREADY.
