Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg announce an Illuminati series on Election Day
It’s election day and people think they’re deciding the future president of the United States, unless they think that the election is a selection and that the whole world is being run by a group of international bankers, politicians and Hip Hop stars. Yes, the elusive Illuminati, rising from the ranks of the Masonic Lodge that the Founding Fathers got drunk at. As Montgomery Burns once worried, “freemasons run the country.”
That’s fine for Preacher and Sausage Party's Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg who are betting on the paranoia that will follow the election results, on either side. ABC okayed a series from Rogen and Goldberg's Point Grey Picture about the Illuminati society and the conspiracy theories people believe are behind it and the ordinary families whose lives get entangled, if only at neighborhood block parties. The series will be about a normal suburban couple who belong to the society, who live in a neighborhood of regular people.
The new as-yet-untitled series will be written by Brad Copeland, who wrote Life In Pieces.
Rogen and Goldberg will also produce a new single-camera superhero comedy series for Fox that tells the story of an ambitious MIT graduate who gets a job with a Steve Jobs-type genius who becomes a vigilante superhero by night.
That show will be written by Mike Rosolio, who wrote Lemmingsand The Cold War.
