‘Stay Tuned’: Josh Gad, Andrew Rannells reunite for new Hulu comedy

WATCH: Josh Gad, Andrew Rannells to star in new 'Stay Tuned' comedy series

Actors and friends Josh Gad and Andrew Rannells are teaming up again for a new comedy series coming to Hulu.

The new series, titled "Stay Tuned," will be based on the 1992 film of the same name, which starred the late John Ritter and Pam Dawber as a couple who gets sucked into their TV and are forced to star in one TV show after another.

Gad shared the news in an Instagram post Wednesday, writing, “For over a decade @andrewrannells and I have been the Laverne and Shirley of our generation (according to our mothers.)"

“It therefore only makes sense to now do a TV series where we can literally do an episode as ‘Laverne and Shirley’ (assuming the rights to those characters aren’t prohibitively expensive and that the algorithm rewards ‘Laverne and Shirley’ viewership.)”
