TBS has picked up Aubrey Plaza‘s (“Parks and Rec”, “Legion”, Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates) half-hour horror comedy pilot “Nightmare Time”.
Plaza is set to executive produce and star as herself in the scripted series which she wrote with Darcy Fowler, Kieran Valla, and Seth Kirschner.
The logline is described as follows:
“Set in Plaza’s Nightmare Clinic, celebrity guests check in to overcome recurring nightmares. Thanks to advanced technology, we’re able to peer into their restless minds, and witness their nightmares in real time. But what is ‘real’ anyway? Maybe it’s all just a nightmare in Aubrey’s mind. One endless nightmare that could eventually destroy her and the entire world.”
TBS says that the potential series would feature two “insane” nightmares inspired by “the horrors of modern society” as well as “tropes and touchstones of the horror genre.”
