According to The Hollywood Reporter, Amy Poehler is teaming up with The Simpsons’ Mike Scully and Julie Thacker for a new animated comedy on Fox. The untitled show will reportedly focus on Duncan Harris, an average 15-year-old kid “with dreams of being a UFC fighter, tech billionaire, video game champ—or any job where you make a ton of money and don’t have to wear a tie.” The idea originated with Poehler, but Scully and Thacker will write the script. Poehler will also voice “multiple characters,” though we don’t have any specifics for that, including whether she’ll be playing Duncan himself or who the other characters in the show might be.
At this point, Fox has simply ordered a script and pilot presentation, which basically means that there are still a lot of steps between now and this project making it to TV.
