CBS is drafting TV talent for its broadband channel, Innertube, signing Michael Cera of Arrested Development to do a scripted shortform series. Cera, who played the son of Jason Bateman’s character on the Fox cult favorite, will star, write and produce The Good Life, Innertube’s first scripted program with a talent deal attached. CBS said at least eight multiminute episodes of varying lengths will be produced, with an option for more. Shot mockumentary-style, Good Life follows Cera and Clark Duke as aspiring TV producers who are so convinced that they have the next big thing on their hands that they remain oblivious to the fact that they have made little progress getting their dream show made. Since launching in May, Innertube has stocked a mix of “repurposed” (i.e. recycled) CBS programs and original projects, including BBQ Bill and The Green Room.
