A couple of weeks after the forthcoming streaming service acquired the Seth Rogen-starring comedy An American Pickle, HBO Max is partnering with the 38-year-old actor and comedian Sarah Silverman for a new animated comedy series Santa Inc., according to The Hollywood Reporter.
“We look forward to diving into the world of animation with our Point Grey partners, and to bring the holidays to HBO Max in a totally unexpected and fresh way.”
Rushfield, Silverman, Amy Avi and Rosa Tran are attached to the series to executive produce.
“Sarah and Seth are the perfect comedy duo for this empowering and very funny animated series shepherded by the hysterical Alexandra Rushfield,” Scott Herbst, head of scripted development at Lionsgate, said in a statement.
