Another Veep and The Thick of It alum creating a show for HBO, Jesse Armstrong is teaming up with Adam McKay and Will Ferrell (both of whom serve as executive producers, with McKay directing at least the pilot) for this story about an American global media family.

The series will explore the power of the family and their media empire, giving it a relevant angle, but also examine their dysfunctional relationships as well. There's a strong ensemble cast, including Brian Cox and Kieran Culkin, while Armstong has proven himself to be a strong comedic, satirical, and tech-savvy voice through the likes of Peep Show, Four Lions, and Black Mirror.
