The National's Matt Berninger is making a TV show about his life
According to Pitchfork, The National frontman Matt Berninger is developing a TV show about his life, and he says he’s “hoping it’s a comedy.” Berninger is working his writer Carin Besser (who is also his wife), his brother Tom, and Australian filmmaker Trent O’Donnell. Berninger dropped that reveal during an interview with Australia’s Double J radio, during which he also noted that the “tone” will be similar to the 2013 National documentary Mistaken For Strangers—which was directed by Tom Berninger. Rather than a mockumentary-type production, though, it sounds like the plan is for it to be a traditional scripted series that, again, might be a comedy.
