Joining the endless string of talent heading to the streaming service, Bob Odenkirk (Better Call Saul) and David Cross (Arrested Development) will write and star in an original sketch comedy series for the platform, Netflix announced Thursday.

With Bob and David will consist of four half-hour episodes and one 60-minute "making-of" special, and star Odenkirk and Cross as dishonorably discharged Navy SEALs. The project has just started production, according to Deadline.com.

Odenkirk and Cross first worked together on The Ben Stiller Show in the early '90s before starring in sketch series Mr. Show With Bob and David, which ran for four seasons on HBO.

David Cross, who appeared in "Arrested Development" for Netflix, will co-star with Bob Odenkirk in a sketch comedy series.


Cross starred in the Netflix-produced fourth season of cult comedy Arrested Development, which premiered on the platform in May 2013. Odenkirk's Better Call Saul, a prequel to Breaking Bad, already is available on the streaming service internationally and will wrap its first season on AMC next week.

Odenkirk and Cross are the latest stars to sign original-programming deals with Netflix. Others include Matt and Ross Duffer (Fox's Wayward Pines), Mark and Jay Duplass (HBO's Togetherness), Leonardo DiCaprio, Adam Sandler and Brad Pitt's Plan B production company.
