Ben Stiller is gearing up to lead an upcoming Apple TV show from King of the Hill’s creator. Mike Judge is creating the show alongside acclaimed comedy writers Steve Hely and Dave King.

What do we know about Ben Stiller’s new TV show?

The series, titled Protective Custody, will see the filmmaker and actor play a disgraced billionaire. As revealed by Deadline, the show will see Stiller play a “disgraced financier accused of massive fraud who is thrown into protective custody, where he must navigate prison politics, salvage his reputation, and confront the consequences of his actions while awaiting trial.”

Protective Custody will mark Ben Stiller’s second leading TV role, following Apple TV’s upcoming The Off Weeks. He is best known for starring in landmark comedies in the early 2000s, including Zoolander, Tropic Thunder, Night at the Museum, and the Fockers franchise.
