Overview
- Netflix, which landed the half-hour in a competitive pitch Tuesday, made a script-to-series commitment through Universal Television and Poehler’s Paper Kite.
- Berner confirmed the deal on Instagram, and the project remains in development with no premiere date announced.
- The untitled show is set in New York City and features Berner and DeSorbo playing fictionalized versions of themselves.
- Kay Cannon will co-write and serve as showrunner, with Berner, DeSorbo, Poehler and Kim Lessing attached as executive producers.
- Coverage noted parallels to Broad City given Poehler’s role on that series, while pointing to the duo’s Giggly Squad podcast winning 2026 Podcast of the Year as proof of a strong built-in audience.
