HBO has handed a series order to The Chair Company , a new half-hour comedy from the I Think You Should Leave star, TVLine has learned. Robinson will co-create the series with his ITYSL writing partner Zach Kanin and star as William Ronald Trosper, who “finds himself investigating a far-reaching conspiracy” following “an embarrassing incident at work,” per the official synopsis.

“With an imprint only Tim and Zach can have on a character, William Ronald Trosper follows in the strong tradition of HBO comedy leads,” the network’s executive vice president of comedy programming Amy Gravitt said in a statement. “I couldn’t be happier to announce the pickup of this wildly enjoyable show.”
