Ben Stiller is set to star in and executive produce “Protective Custody,” a new comedy series from Mike Judge (“Silicon Valley”), Steve Hely (“Common Side Effects”) and Dave King (“Parks and Recreation”) that Apple is developing, reports Deadline.
Here’s how the potential series is described: “Protective Custody” will follow a disgraced financier accused of massive fraud who is thrown into protective custody, where he must navigate prison politics, salvage his reputation, and confront the consequences of his actions while awaiting trial.
Hailing from Apple Studios, “Protective Custody” will be co-written, co-showrun and executive produced by Judge, Hely and King, with Judge attached to direct.
Still is no stranger to Apple TV. He comes to “Protective Custody” after directing on and exec producing two seasons of their Emmy-winning drama “Severance” and released his passion project doc, “Stiller & Meara: Nothing Is Lost,” on parents Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara, with Apple.
