Hulu has ordered 10 episodes of a new scripted supernatural comedy called Deadbeat from Lionsgate, with all episodes directed and exec produced by TV producing vet Troy Miller (credits include Netflix's reboot of Arrested Development, Brand X With Russell Brand and others). Hulu's current slate of originals includes The Awesomes, Quickdraw and the upcoming The Wrong Mans; the buy from Lionsgate seems to indicate enough initial success with The Awesomes to merit further investment.
The show is co-created by Cody Heller and Brett Konner, a story editor and a writer, respectively, on FX's oddball Elijah Wood comedy Wilfred; it will focus on a male medium who helps ghosts in New York "settle their unfinished business."
