Andy Samberg and his “Palm Springs” writer Andy Siara have teamed up with Noah Hawley and Ben Stiller for an untitled science fiction comedy-drama that has landed at Apple Studios, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Apple finalized the deal over the weekend. The comedy-drama will air, of course, on Apple TV+, though there’s no timetable as to when.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Samberg will star and produce. Hawley will produce through his 26 Keys banner with 26 Keys’ Dan Seligmann. Stiller and Nicky Weinstock will produce via Red Hour with the company’s Jackie Cohn executive producing. Bob-Waksberg will also act as a producer. Siara will pen the script and will also be an executive producer on the project.
