Plot details for the project are currently being kept close to the chest, but it’s been confirmed that Siara will be penning the script on an original idea BoJack Horseman creator and writer Raphael Bob-Waksberg. In addition to scripting, Siara is set to executive produce the Samberg-starring project alongside Red Hour Productions’ Jackie Cohen, while the Brooklyn Nine-Nine vet will produce alongside Hawley and Dan Seligmann via the former’s 26 Keys production label, Stiller and Nicky Weinstock through the former’s Red Hour and Bob-Waksberg.
The project first garnered buzz amongst studios after the release of Palm Springs on Hulu last July, with the film currently getting some awards season buzz and taking home a few trophies at this year’s Critics Choice Super Awards, including Best Science-Fiction/Fantasy Movie, Best Actor and Best Actress in a Science-Fiction/Fantasy Movie for Samberg and Milioti. Apple closed the deal to acquire the untitled project over the weekend.
