Riz Ahmed is to create, star in and produce an Amazon comedy series about a struggling actor on the cusp of landing the role of a lifetime with Modern Family EP Ben Karlin and Jax Media.
The untitled half-hour show is the first fruits of the deal struck between Prime Video and Oscar-nominee Ahmed’s Left Handed Films three years ago.
Ahmed and Karlin will showrun the series, which follows Shah Latif, a struggling actor on the cusp of landing the role of a lifetime only to find himself thrust into an existential crisis and trippy conspiracy thriller at the same time.
