Levitan serves as writer, executive producer and showrunner on the show, which is produced by 20th Television. John Enbom, Danielle Stokdyk and Jeff Morton are also executive producers.

Joining Greer on the cast is Keegan-Michael Key, Johnny Knoxville, Rachel Bloom, Calum Worthy and Krista Marie Yu.

Reboot follows a dysfunctional cast from an early 2000s sitcom who are brought back together when executives at Hulu decide to revive the show.

Levitan said: “After working 30 years in TV comedy, this is both my love letter to sitcoms and, if I’m being honest, much-needed therapy.”

Karey Burke, 20th Television president, said: “Steve Levitan is a comedy genius and his idea for Reboot is as hilarious as it is timely. We’re thrilled that our friends at Hulu love this sly, wildly funny look at the television comedy business as much as we do.”
