Yahoo continues on its push for original video content and A-list talent, with a deal for a new comedy series with Ben Stiller’s Red Hour production shingle.
Burning Love, which will be co-produced by a division at Paramount Pictures specializing in small-budget projects, Insurge Pictures, will be a spoof on syndicated reality dating shows like Blind Date. Launching in the spring on Yahoo Screen’s Comedy Channel, the scripted show will feature such onscreen talent as Malin Akerman, Kristen Bell, Ken Jeong and Abigail Spencer.
