Ben Stiller’s Next Venture in Television

Ben Stiller is embarking on an exciting new television project, taking on roles both as an actor and a producer.

Introducing “The Band” on HBO

The acclaimed executive producer and director of Severance is set to star in a dramedy titled The Band for HBO. This project, developed by the creative minds behind Search Party, Sarah Violet Bliss and Charles Rogers, is currently in the works at the premium network.

A Glimpse into the Music Industry

The Band will delve into the music industry, with Stiller portraying Oscar, a “pop impresario and talent mogul engulfed in scandal, who must create a new act to salvage his career—and perhaps his very soul,” according to the show’s description. If it progresses to a series, this will mark Stiller’s first regular television acting role since his recurring appearance on Arrested Development during both its Fox and Netflix runs.

Collaborative Production Efforts

The studio behind The Morning Show and Pachinko at Apple TV+, Media Res, is co-producing The Band alongside HBO.

Leadership Behind the Scenes

Bliss and Rogers will serve as showrunners and executive producers, collaborating with Stiller and John Lesher for Red Hour, as well as Savan Kotecha and Media Res’ Michael Ellenberg and Lindsey Springer.

Stiller’s Impressive Television Portfolio

Beyond Severance, Stiller’s production credits in television include Showtime’s Escape at Dannemora, The CW’s In the Dark, and Comedy Central’s Another Period, in addition to his iconic 1990s Fox sketch show.
