Well this is very exciting! In what could be a match made in heaven, Amazon has acquired the acting talents of Jeff Goldblum and Danny DeVito to star in a new half-hour series for the streaming service. And if that wasn’t enough, the show is created by Tim Long, the writer-producer of The Simpsons, reports The Hollywood Reporter.
In the new show, the actors will play an “iconic music duo from the past” who reunite despite the fact that over the years they have come to hate each other. DeVito and Goldblum will executive produce the show with legendary producer Brian Grazer (Apollo 13, A Beautiful Mind) with Imagine TV’s Jon Radler overseeing the show.
The duo has been enjoying a new renaissance in recent years: DeVito, who shot to fame on Taxi back in the 1970s, has recently been seen in cult-comedy series It...

Holy Crap Yes! It has been announced that Danny DeVito and Jeff Goldblum will be working together on a series for Amazon. This brings me such peace. I love both of these actors. They are both funny, talented, and weird. They are also so unique and to see them paired up makes me so happy.
In the series, DeVito and Goldblum will play Matt Downey (Goldblum) and Arlo Finkleman (DeVito), an iconic music duo from the past (like Hall and Oates or Simon and Garfunkle), who hate each other, but have to reunite. It will deal with these two crazy artists trying to get along with each other as well as all their loved ones, who are equally crazy.
I think what excites me more than the casting is the thought of them as an iconic music duo. Goldblum has a beautiful if not odd singing voice, and DeVito I recall singing in Disney's Hercules,...
