Netflix has given series orders to Montauk, a 1980s-set period drama written and directed by young genre filmmakers Matt and Ross Duffer, and With Bob and David, a sketch comedy created by and starring Bob Odenkirk and David Cross.
Described as a love letter to the '80s classics that captivated a generation, Montauk is set in 1980 Montauk, Long Island, where a young vanishes into thin air. As friends, family and local police search for answers, they are drawn into an extraordinary mystery involving top-secret government experiments, terrifying supernatural forces and one very strange little girl.
In addition to writing and directing, the Duffer brothers will also serve as executive producers alongside Shawn Levy and Dan Cohen. The first season will include eight episodes and debut on the streaming service in 2016
"Matt and Ross are emerging filmmakers with an unmistakable passion for genre and suspense," said Cindy Holland, Vice President of Original Content, Netflix. "Their unique voice infuses this coming-of-age drama with supernatural thrills that will captivate our global audience."
