Emma Stone and Jonah Hill are finalizing deals to star and Cary Fukunaga to direct Maniac, a blockbuster half-hour series package from Paramount TV and Anonymous Content, sources say.

The dark comedy i2016 Film Independent Spirit Awards - Arrivalss based on the 2014 Norwegian series about a guy who lives a fantasy life in his dreams but in reality is locked up at an institution. I hear the project will be seeking a straight-to-series order, possibly for two seasons, with Fukunaga likely directing all episodes. Search is underway for a writer.
