Jordan Peele and Keegan-Michael Key are coming back to TV -- but not in the way you think.

The comedy duo is following up their hit series Key and Peele by executive producing a new TV series starring Vine personality King Bach (real name Andrew Bachelor). The single-camera show has made its way to Fox, Deadline writes.

The still-untitled show will star Bach as an undercover cop who returns to his old neighborhood. It will be written and co-executive produced by Key and Peele alum Alex Rubens.

King Bach is the most popular user on Vine, with about 14 million followers and over 5 billion loops. The comedian quickly shot to Vine stardom, churning out viral hits like one hashtagged #ButThatBackFlipTho.

This won't be his first time working with Key and Peele. The duo have made guest appearances on Bach's Vine videos and even brought him on for a small role on Key and Peele.

Bach has used his Vine stardom as a springboard for more TV work, landing guest roles in shows like The Mindy Project, House of Lies and Black Jesus.
