Will Arnett ready to get 'Flaked' on Netflix

Funnyman Will Arnett is going to get Flaked.

That's the title of his new eight-episode comedy series due on Netflix in 2016.

Arnett plays Chip, who is doing his best to stay one step ahead of his own lies in Venice, Calif. Chip is a self-appointed guru of sorts who is busy juggling a world where he's having to live up to some half-truths to keep up appearances.

"We are thrilled to be the home of Will Arnett's next series, and look forward to Chip joining his repertoire alongside such diverse and inspirational characters such as Gob, Bojack, and Batman," Cindy Holland, Vice President of Original Content at Netflix, said in a statement.

"We're very excited to partner with Netflix — the home of original, original content — and the network I knew would be the ideal home for this passion project," said Arnett in a statement.

Executive producers Arnett and Mark Chappell (The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret) co-created and co-wrote Flaked. Ben Silverman, Peter Principato and Mitch Hurwitz (Arrested Development) also serve as executive producers of the series.
