‘Minari’ star Steven Yeun to star in Ali Wong TV series
Netflix, Amazon, FX and Apple are auctioning for the untitled series
Oscar nominated actor "Minari" star Steven Yeun is reuniting with A24 on an untitled 10-episode show on television.
According to Deadline, the Yeun-Wong series was "pitched last week" and "has created an auction frenzy with the usual suspects — Netflix, Amazon, FX and Apple among them — all in the mix."
No plot details have been added about the series as of now.
Deadline added that Wong and Yeun will be executive producers of the series.
The creator, writer and showrunner of the limited series is Lee Sung Jin. Each of the episodes will be 30 minutes long.
The series will mark the first for Yeun since his beloved Glenn Rhee character shockingly was killed off on The Walking Dead.
Yeun's career has reached a new peak with the release of Lee Isaac Chung's "Minari," for which Yeun is now the first Asian-American Best Actor nominee in the 93-year history of the Academy Awards.
"Minari" has been nominated for a total of six Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, Best Original Score, and Best Supporting Actress for Youn Yuh-jung.
A24 has been getting busier in the TV space, with Ramy, Emmy winner Euphoria, At Home with Amy Sedaris and Moonbase 8 with John C Reilly and Fred Armisen for Showtime.
