Youssef co-created the comedy with Ari Katcher and Ryan Welch. They executive produce with showrunner Bridget Bedard, Jerrod Carmichael and Ravi Nandan. A24 produces.
All six episodes of the limited series adaptation of Catch-22 will debut on Friday, May 17.
Based on the novel by Joseph Heller, the incomparable, artful dodger, Yossarian, a US Air Force bombardier in World War II, is furious because thousands of people he has never met are trying to kill him. But his real problem is not the enemy, but rather his own army which keeps increasing the number of missions the men must fly to complete their service. Yet if Yossarian makes any attempt to avoid his military assignments, he'll be in violation of Catch-22, a hilariously sinister bureaucratic rule which specifies that a concern for one's own safety in the face of dangers which are real and immediate is the process of a rational mind; a man is considered insane if he willingly continues to fly dangerous combat missions, but a request to be removed from duty is evidence of sanity and therefore makes him ineligible to be relived from duty.
