SIMPSONS Producer Developing Sci-Fi Dramedy for YouTube

"The Simpsons" producer David Mirkin is creating a sci-fi drama-comedy series for Youtube Premium, according to Variety.

Mirkin will team up with producer and distributor Dynamic Television on the live-action project, titled "Jeff of the Universe".

No official plot details have been made available, but Mirkin said, "Many have desperately tried to keep the stunning, disturbing, life-changing SECRETS exposed in 'Jeff of the Universe' from ever becoming public which is why I am so thrilled to be working with THE BRAVE folks at Youtube Premium and Dynamic Television. In addition, they are giving us a totally unlimited budget. At least that is what I am assuming."

Mirkin will write, direct, and executive produce the series. The series will be executive produced by Daniel March and Holly Hines for Dynamic alongside Todd Berger and former FOX and Endemol Shine exec Emiliano Calemzuk.

Dynamic's Hines said, "David is an incredible storyteller who consistently creates these iconic characters and series. Getting to work with him and our great partners at Youtube Premium is really an out-of-this-world experience."

Besides "The Simpsons" series, Mirkin's credits include "The Simpsons Movie," "Romy and Michele's High School Reunion," and "Heartbreakers." He is set to direct "The Hating Game."
