Amy Sedaris is the latest addition to the Apple TV comedy series “Protective Custody,” Variety reports. Sedaris will star alongside previously announced series lead Ben Stiller as well as fellow cast member Benicio Del Toro.
The logline for the show states that it will follow “a disgraced financier (Stiller) accused of massive fraud who is thrown into protective custody, where he must navigate prison politics, salvage his reputation, and confront the consequences of his actions while awaiting trial.”
Sedaris is perhaps best known for starring in the cult hit comedy “Strangers with Candy,” which she co-created. Her other TV credits include “At Home with Amy Sedaris” and “BoJack Horseman,” while she has also starred in films such as “Jennifer’s Body,” “Puss in Boots,” and “Elf.”
Mike Judge is co-writing “Protective Custody” along with Steve Hely and Dave King. All three are executive producers and co-showrunners, with Judge also attached to direct.
MacDailyNews Take: With Mike Judge writing and directing, wwe have high hopes for “Protective Custody.”
