Showtime has ordered a pilot for the new half-hour comedy Ball Street starring Emmy nominated and Golden Globe winning actor Don Cheadle (House of Lies) and Tony Award nominee and Grammy winner Andrew Rannells (Girls).
Rannells plays Blair Shmerman,a fresh-out-of-Wharton trading prodigy whose pure heart will struggle to survive Wall Street (from both a metaphoric and cocaine standpoint).
Ball Street was created by David Caspe (Happy Endings) and Jordan Cahan (My Best Friend’s Girl) who will serve as executive producers and showrunners.
“In Don Cheadle and Andrew Rannells, we have two of the most dynamic performers in the world today – the question is which one of them lit the match.
