Louis C.K.‘s Louie may still be on an extended hiatus, but he won’t be gone from television for much longer. C.K. is teaming up with Albert Brooks for a new animated series on TBS that will cast both comedians as a pair of policemen.
C.K. and Brooks have co-created The Cops, which will receive a 10-episode first season from TBS in 2018. Within the show, C.K. will voice a cop named Lou, while Brooks will portray his partner, Al. The official description from the network calls them “two Los Angeles patrolmen trying their best to protect and serve, sometimes failing at both. Ride with them as they patrol one of the biggest cities in the world, then go home with them and be glad you’re not married to either.”
Both C.K. and Brooks have previous voiceover experience. Brooks has made many guest appearances on The Simpsons, in addition to voicing Marlin in Finding Nemo and Finding Dory, and his most recent turn as Tiberius in The Secret Life of Pets. C.K. also had a leading role in The Secret Life of Pets as Max, and he’s lent his voice to two episodes of Gravity Falls.
The Cops is being produced by FX Productions, with animation veterans Greg Daniels, Dino Stamatopoulos, Dave Becky, and Howard Klein attached as executive producers. The series doesn’t have a premiere date yet, but it will likely begin production soon.
