Will Arnett’s got some free time on his hands following the demise of The Millers and it appears he’s filling those free hours with a starring role in Flaked, a series he co-created, co-wrote, and executive produces along with Mark Chappell. Netflix just announced the new comedy will be premiering exclusively on the internet TV network in 2016.
Ben Silverman, Peter Principato, and Mitch Hurwitz are also on board as executive producers.
“We are thrilled to be the home of Will Arnett’s next series, and look forward to Chip joining his repertoire alongside such diverse and inspirational characters such as Gob, Bojack, and Batman ” stated Cindy Holland, Vice President of Original Content at Netflix.
“We’re very excited to partner with Netflix– the home of original, original content — and the network I knew would be the ideal home for this passion project,” said Will Arnett.
The Plot:
Set in the insular world of Venice, California, Flaked is the seriocomic story of a self-appointed “guru” who falls for the object of his best friend’s fascination. Soon the tangled web of half-truths and semi-bullshit that underpins his all-important image and sobriety begins to unravel. Arnett plays Chip, a man doing his honest best to stay one step ahead of his own lies.
