The actor co-created the show with TV producer Gary Reich and they will  both serve as executive producers alongside Tristram Shapeero.

It has been commissioned for eight half-hour episodes and production will begin this May in the U.K.

In the series, Elba will play Charlie who is a struggling DJ and eternal bachelor. He becomes a manny to his famous best friend’s problem-child and this gives him a final shot at making a success of himself.
