Amazon has put The Hospital into active development.
Multiple outlets report that Maya Rudolph and Natasha Lyonne have teamed with Cirocco Dunlap on a new animated sci-fi series for Amazon titled The Hospital.
The series will follow Sleech and Klak, two brilliant alien doctors who specialize in rare sci-fi illnesses. When Sleech defies protocol and contracts a disease from another dimension, the heroes must find a cure before the universe is destroyed.
Dunlap, who serves as writer and supervising producer on Lyonne’s Netflix series Russian Doll, will write and executive produce The Hospital. Lyonne, Rudolph and Animal Pictures’ Danielle Renfrew Behrens will also exec produce under their banner Animal Pictures.
“Cirocco is an incredibly gifted and hilarious talent, and we can’t wait to share her irreverent and existential point of view: a sci-fi world so deep and so strange and so animated,” Rudolph and Lyonne said in a statement.
This is the first project under Animal’s first-look deal with Amazon.
