Emma Stone and Jonah Hill to reunite for Netflix series

Netflix to the rescue, yet again. According to Vulture, the streaming service has picked up Maniac, a half-hour dark comedy that stars onetime Superbad costars Jonah Hill and Emma Stone and will be helmed by Beasts of No Nation's Cary Fukunaga. 

Maniac, based on a Norwegian TV series, follows Hill's character as he flits between his own fantasies and his life in a mental institution, where Stone is another patient. Both actors will executive produce the project with Fukunaga, who received critical acclaim for Beasts of No Nation and an Emmy for directing Season 1 of True Detective.

Also producing are Michael Sugar and Doug Wald of Anonymous Content, Kruke Kristiansen, Anne Kolbjornsen, Espen PA Lervaag, Kjetil Indegard and Ashley Zalta. The 10-episode series is still looking for a writer or writers, with Fukunaga set to direct.
