Jason Reitman is hopping into television -- casually.

Hulu has picked up 10 episodes of Casual, a single-camera, half-hour comedy from the Oscar-nominated director, set to debut on the streaming service in 2015.

The show centers on a brother-sister duo who help each other navigate the dating world while raising a teenager together. He's a bachelor and she's newly divorced.

Reitman, best known for directing 2007's Juno and 2009's Up in the Air, is set to direct the first episode.

“I've long looked for the right first step into episodic storytelling,” said Reitman in a release.

Casual will begin production this year.

The move on Hulu's part comes as the company continues to beef up its slate of original series. They recently picked up an adaptation of Stephen King's 11/22/63.
