Damon Wayans Jr. will star in theSingularitypilot from producersSeth RogenandEvan Goldberg. FX won a bidding war for the AI comedy last August, which was around the time Rogen announced the project. The story depicts a future when artificial intelligencehas far exceeded human intelligence.

Below, learn about the Seth Rogen AI comedy.

In the series, society underwent some massive changes after artificial intelligence grew superior to humans. The Hollywood Reporter learned Wayans is set to play Doug, a man who enjoys the convenience and happiness provided by the best tech the world has to offer. His face isnt always glued to his phone, though. Doug loves to be in the moment and this makes me like this character already is often dressed in Yeezy street wear.

Sonny Lee(Silicon Valley) came up with the idea for the series. Hes writing and executive producing the pilot. Apparently, the writer went to Rogen, Goldberg, and their Point Grey Banner because Singularitystone is comparable toThis Is the End. Theres no mention of whos directing the pilot, but after their work onPreacher, it would be nice if Rogen and Goldberg got behind the camera for a concept as potentially funny as this one. If the show gets picked up, itll be the duos third project to go to series, followingPreacherand HulusFuture Man. (That one actually co-stars another former Happy Endings cast member, Eliza Coupe.)

Rogen revealed he and Goldberg were working on a show about the singularity back in August. We have a pilot for FX that were gonna shoot that were working on right now, he said. Were working on the script right now and were going to film that in the next year basically. Its about artificial intelligence, its a half-hour comedy about the singularity basically. Years ago, Rogen and Goldberg were developing another FX series, an animated showabout Bigfoot, which is still possibly in the works.

As forSingularity, Rogen, Goldberg, and Lee have a fine star for their series. Wayans appeared inLets Be CopsandHow to Be Single, but his performance in the endlessly enjoyableHappy Endingsis a good indicator of how funny he is. The Hollywood Reporter added Wayans was one of the most sought-after actors this pilot season. He was weighing offers from NBC, CBS, and FOX, but he instead went with the promising high-concept pilot from FX.
