In addition to series orders for a scripted series based on the early life of late rapper Notorious B.I.G., TBS has also now ordered a pilot for a half-hour comedy series titled “World’s End,” starring Wanda Sykes and Hamish Linklater.
Written by Jonathan Ames, “World’s End” is described as a dark comedy about an asylum that operates like a family, where the question of who is sane and who is not is open for discussion.
“World’s End” is based on an original Sagafilm television format.
The pilot is a co-production of Electus and Turner’s Studio T and is being executive-produced by Ames, Ben Silverman, Stephanie Davis and Sean Canino, along with Alan Poul, who will also direct.
Sykes can currently be seen in STX Entertainment’s “Bad Moms” which opened in USA theaters over the weekend.
