Most specifically, HBO has made a production commitment to A5, a live-action comedy centered on a bioengineer who discovers the gene that makes a person an asshole and attempts to answer the questions nagging at all of us: Why do assholes exist?
HBO has signed Mike Judge to a new two-year deal, as part of which the Silicon Valley co-creator will take a look at what makes a person an asshole.
Judge also has received a production commitment for QualityLand, a live-action comedy based on the novel of the same name by Marc-Uwe Kling and set in the very near future.
Judge will exec-produce and co-write A5 with fellow EP Etan Cohen (King of the Hill, Tropic Thunder).
