Jonah Hill and Emma Stone are heading to television. The Hollywood Reporter learns that the "Superbad" co-stars are set to reunite on screen for a dark comedy series titled "Maniac" which will be directed by "Beasts of No Nation" helmer Cary Fukunaga.

Hailing from Paramount TV and Anonymous Content, the show is based on a 2014 Norwegian series of the same name about a mental institution patient who lives in a fantasy world in his brain. The project is reportedly being shopped around with the goal for a straight-to-series pickup and a potential two-season order.

Editors' Pick

Fukunaga is expected to helm every episode of "Maniac", just like what he did in the first installment of "True Detective". On top of that, the Emmy-winning director will serve as a producer for the new TV series along with "The Wolf of Wall Street" actor Hill and "Birdman" actress Stone.
