It's the news we've all been waiting for, even if we didn't know we were: Will Ferrell and Adam KcKay, executive producers of cult comedies Step Brothers and Anchorman, have joined up again to make a brand-new comedy series.
No Activity is set amidst a drug bust and follows two low-ranking cops who spend a lot of time together; two criminals, two dispatch workers, who unlike the cops, don't get along; and two Mexicans who are creating a tunnel and are forced to spend time in a very small space together. Yeah, it sounds weird. But if anyone can successfully pull off weird and funny it's Will Ferrell.
Anyone else is stupidly excited for this already?
The series is based on an Australian series of the same name, if you're a fan of the original, you'll be pleased to know its creators worked on the remake as show-runners and executive producers. How's that for the seal of approval?
