We’re Getting a New Comedy Starring Steve Martin and Martin Short

Steve Martin and Martin Short are an iconic duo. 

The comedic actors spurred many a-laugh as the stressed father of the bride and extravagant wedding planner in Father of the Bride and its sequel, and they are now set to team up once again. 

Hulu has ordered a comedy series starring the pair, based on an idea by The Pink Panther actor, about three New York strangers who share a passion for true crime and suddenly find themselves involved in one. Dan Fogelman, who created This Is Us, will be producing as part of his overall deal at the network. 

“When you’re lucky enough to have lunch with Steve Martin, and halfway through the meal he says ‘hey, I have an idea for a TV show’ – it’s a pretty good day,” Fogelman told Deadline. “This is as exciting as it gets.”
