Actor Tatiana Maslany (Keeper, The Monkey) and comic/actor Tim Heidecker (Him, Us) have been set to star in The Comedy Hour, a dystopian dark comedy centered in the realm of late-night television, Deadline reports.

The Comedy Hour will mark the feature directorial debut of Colby Day, the writer behind the upcoming sci-fi drama In the Blink of an Eye (not to be confused with Blink of an Eye).

The black comedy satire is “set five minutes into the future when modern America is on the brink of collapse. Heidecker will play Jimmy, a late-night talk show host forced to produce his show through famine, fire, and plague. When the network assigns him a robot to be his co-host and help boost ratings, everyone in America loves the robot more than him.”

Maslany will play Priya, a corporate climber and Jimmy’s longtime producer.

It’s a debut feature that feels perfectly suited for its director; Colby Day began his career interning at The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.

Scythia Films’ President Daniel Bekerman is producing the film, along with Halee Bernard & Julian Higgins (God’s Country).
