Emmy Award winner Ty Burrell (Modern Family) is on board to star in and executive produce Tightrope!, a new comedy just greenlit by Roku. Six-time Emmy winner Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad) will executive produce the six-episode season and his production company, Moonshot Entertainment, is attached to produce along with Burrell’s Desert Whale Productions and Village Roadshow Television.

“I was inspired by the on-the-nose old drama series of the ’50s, to mess with the whole thing and create a new version of a lunatic comedy, never seen before in a TV series. Tightrope is a result of a fever dream and conceived over a bowl of chili at Chasens, savvy?” stated Bryan Cranston. And Burrell said, “I’m so thrilled to be working with Bryan, and Roku Originals, on this bonkers (in the best way) idea of a show.”

Additional executive producers include Adam Small, Fax Bahr, and Moonshot Entertainment’s James Degus. Small and Bahr will direct the series.

Roku offered this series description, inspired by the crime drama that aired on CBS in 1959 and 1960: “Through reimagined dialogue and a new lead actor in Ty Burrell, Tightrope! reshapes the drama of the vintage 1950s series into a slapstick comedy, where Burrell plays a lone wolf detective following cases city to city, while he searches for his long-lost love who got away.”

“Since Tightrope! is a comedy about a detective (and finding a Wallenda seemed off-brand) we’re thrilled to have Ty Burrell and Bryan Cranston join us at Roku for this imaginative, funny series,” said Charlie Collier, President, Roku Media. “What a joy to welcome Ty and Bryan to the Roku Originals lineup, along with the Moonshot and Desert Whale teams and our partners at Village Roadshow Television. We’re pleased to add Tightrope! to our growing originals slate to delight our audiences.”
