Jim Carrey's screen appearances have been scant recently, with just two movies to his name his 2014's Dumb and Dumber To, so Kidding represents something of a comeback for the actor, and it reunites him with the director of one of his best films.

Carrey is reuniting with Michael Gondry (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) for the Showtime series, which follows Mr Pickles, a beloved children's TV icon who has been living in his own world of fairy tales and puppets, and struggles to cope when his family life begins to implode.

It looks like a fascinatingly weird comedy-drama, which should make for the best use of Carrey's talents in both areas for some time, while support comes from Catherine Keener, Frank Langella, and Judy Greer.

Air Date: September 9
