The short form series has now been picked up by the Roku Channel where it’s streaming in the U.S., Canada and the U.K. The TV adaptation will be co-developed and co-produced by Saloon Media and Bullrush Pictures.

Executive producers for the series are Adam Greydon Reid, Melissa Williamson, Michael Kot, and Joe Fowler of Allagash Entertainment.Melissa Williamson, senior VP, scripted content, Saloon Media, said: “Adam’s deep experience as both an actor and a creative shine through in the writing, directing and producing for the web series, and we couldn’t be more excited to reimagine this property as a full-fledged half-hour comedy with him.
