TBS orders “dark comedy” series starring Alia Shawkat

Introducing Endless Mode: A New Games & Anime Site from Paste
Cries of “Marry me!” are presumably ringing through the halls of TBS today as Deadline reports that the network has ordered the dark comedy series Search Party—starring Alia Shawkat, a.k.a. Mae “Maeby” Fünke—to series. Adding to the project’s comedy bona fides is Michael Showalter, who oversaw production on a pilot written and directed by Sarah-Violet Bliss and Charles Rogers, the directorial team behind the 2014 SXSW selection Fort Tilden. (Bliss also worked as a staff writer on Wet Hot American Summer: First Day Of Camp.) Broad City’s Tony Hernandez and Lilly Burns will also serve as executive producers.
