Robert Wuhl Developing Series For HBO

Arli$$ creator-star Robert Wuhl is developing a new series for HBO. The untitled project is a multigenerational family comedy about a father and son who run a big Madison Square Garden-type arena in New York and will look behind the scenes of the sporting, music, children’s and other events that take place there.

Wuhl is co-writing the script with Arli$$ alum Seth Greenland. Wuhl also is attached to direct and executive produce; Greenland would serve as co-executive producer. Sam Hansen will oversee the project for Mosaic Media. The project falls under the most recent development pact Wuhl inked with HBO in April.

Wuhl has been a fixture on HBO since appearing on a young-comedians showcase in 1981. He created and played the title role in Arli$$, which ran from 1996-2002, and has been under a development deal there since. Wuhl has been workshopping his popular Assume the Position HBO specials for a potential Broadway run.
