Brooklyn Nine-Nine’s Andy Samberg working on comedy series with Vir Das

"Brooklyn Nine-Nine" actor Andy Samberg will collaborate with comedian Vir Das in a new show for FOX.

Titled "Country Eastern", the series is a single cam comedy, starring Vir Das as the lead. It covers the story of a young and wealthy Indian man shifting to Memphis, Tennessee, USA, for chasing his passion of becoming a country music singer. The only hurdle is he is very bad at making music. In order to make songs, he needs to have the experience of living in America.

Vir will co-write and executive produce the project with Sam Laybourne, serving as the showrunner. Sam has previously written for shows like "Black-ish", "Cougar Town" and "Arrested Development". The series will be produced by CBS Studios and Fox Entertainment. It will also be executive produced by Andy Samberg, alongside Jorma Taccone, Akiva Schaffer, Reg Tigerman and Ali Bell of "Party Over Here."

The series is currently under development.
