Matt Shakman from “WandaVision” will direct the pilot episode and also serve as an executive producer. Garfield and Law are additionally involved as executive producers too.
Malnati and Leckart, the creators of the initial podcast, will collaborate with Brian Grazer (known for “A Beautiful Mind”), Kristen Zolner (“Big Mouth”), Natalie Berkus (“The ‘Burbs”), Tony Leondis (“The Emoji Movie”) and Kathy Ciric (“The Romanoffs”) as executive producers.
