Franco and Rogen will serve as executive producers on the project that is in early development, along with Franco\u2019s producing partner Vince Jolivette and Rogen\u2019s longtime collaborator Evan Goldberg. The hourlong series is currently untitled. Variety\u2018s source described the project as a teen show set in the 1990\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Funny enough, Franco and Rogen started working together on their own teen series in the \u201990s, \u201cFreaks and Geeks,\u201d which was a comedy set in the \u201980s.<\/p>\n

To date, the pair has worked on a number of films together from \u201cPineapple Express\u201d to \u201cThe Interview\u201d to \u201cThis Is the End\u201d and most recently, \u201cThe Disaster Artist,\u201d which debuted at SXSW to rave reviews. The Hulu project marks Franco and Rogen\u2019s first series production together, though both are currently at work on separate TV projects \u2014 Franco is gearing up for HBO\u2019s upcoming series \u201cThe Deuce,\u201d while Rogen and Goldberg are co-creators of AMC\u2019s \u201cPreacher.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Oxford, the Hulu project marks her latest TV development, following scripts that landed at CBS and NBC. The writer and blogger first gained recognition from her popularity on Twitter, and then parlayed her following into authoring books. She published her New York Times best-seller \u201cEverything Is Perfect When You\u2019re a Liar\u201d in 2013, and is days away from releasing her second book, \u201cWhen You Find Out the World Is Against You.\u201d<\/p>\n
