WarnerMedia streamer HBO Max, which is set to launch May 2020, has set a script development deal for Classified, a workplace comedy about interns at the much covered foreign intelligence agency.
Classified hails from Paramount Television and writer David Sidorov, who most recently worked as a writer on the Comedy Central show “Alternatino with Arturo Castro.” The former Onion writer also counts ABC’s “Gong Show” revival, and truTV’s “Billy on the Street” with Billy Eichner among his previous credits. He is represented by WME.
The project joins the HBO Max development slate which got a little larger last week when the streamer ordered a trio of projects to pilot, including one from Conan O’Brien and another from “The Big Sick” director Michael Showalter.
