Will Arnett of 'Bojack Horseman' Fame Joins Comedy Series, 'First Team'

Actor and voice-artist, Will Arnett is all set to be appearing back on the screen. It's just been over 2 years since the actor was actually 'seen' on the small screen in his show, Flaked. Of course, we say seen because his wildly popular voiced-character Bojack Horseman on Netflix is animated.

Anyway, coming back to the fact that Arnett has joined the cast of The First Team that will be a comedy series and is presented by Iain Morris and Damon Beesley, where they are best known for their hugely successful Brit comedy The Inbetweeners and its two spinoff films. 

According to The Hollywood Reporter, The First Team follows the off-the-pitch misadventures of three young football players (Ali-Yebuah, McMullen and Short) as they find themselves struggling with their mercurial Italian manager Cesare (Paulo Sassenelli), the team’s eccentric American Chairman (Will Arnett), resident hard-man Petey Brooks (Theo Barklem Biggs) and ineffectual coach Chris Booth (Chris Geere).

"We're so lucky to be working with such an incredible bunch, some new faces and some we've worked with over the years, all making us laugh enormously,” said Morris and Beesley, whose Fudge Park banner — also behind Brit comedy series White Gold and Ill Behaviour — is producing

BBC Studios is a partner in financing the development of the series and is handling global distribution rights.
