The series is currently in the early stages with Meat Loaf being joined Christopher Potts and Jonty Nash from production company Nobody's Hero for the relationship-based project.
“For the most part, we want to create shows that are funny, clever and buzzworthy, but two out of three ain’t bad,” Potts and Nash said, to which Meat Loaf added: “You took the words right out of my mouth.”
