As reported by The Wrap, Sandra Oh is going to star in a Netflix series called The Chair from showrunner/co-writer Amanda Peet and executive producers David Benioff and D.B. Weiss (a.k.a. the Thronez Boys, a.k.a. the creators of HBO’s Game Of Thrones). Despite the name, the series will not be a reality show where contestants answer trivia questions while strapped to a chair and trying to keep the heart rate down as John McEnroe throws beehives at their heads. Instead, it’s about Oh as “the chair of an English department at a major university,” which… doesn’t sound quite as thrilling. But who knows, maybe John McEnroe will show up to serve some beehives. Either way, Jay Duplass will be there as well.
