Details are slim at the moment, but Amazon has announced that they have a new comedy in the works starring a few heavy-hitters. The streaming network has tapped Danny DeVito (It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia) and Jeff Goldblum (Jurassic Park, Thor: Ragnarok) to star in their new untitled half-hour comedy. The show is created/written by longtime The Simpsons writer Tim Long, and DeVito and his son, Jake DeVito, will have a hand in producing.

DeVito and Goldblum will play Arlo Finkleman and Matt Downey, respectively, an aging former hit music duo who haven’t performed together for many years, and for good reason: they hate each other. For reasons unknown, the two are forced to get the band back together and try to get along, often with the help of their inner circle of wives, ex-wives, children and managers, who all turn out to be as frustratingly annoying and brilliant as the two musicians themselves. While both actors are involved in other projects for film and TV, none of those are expected to clash with this project.

There’s no word yet on when production is set to begin, or when the show is expected to debut.
