Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele are returning to the small screen, at least in a producing capacity.
Fox has ordered an undercover cop comedy that the duo will executive produce, following the wrap-up of their Comedy Central sketch series “Key and Peele,” which ended in September.
The half-hour, single-camera project will star Andrew Bachelor, aka King Bach, who came to fame with his Vine and YouTube videos. He’ll play an undercover cop who returns to his old neighborhood to take down the people who bullied him as a child.

The untitled project is produced by 20th Century Fox Television. Fox has given the project a script order with a penalty attached.
“Key and Peele” alum Alex Rubens is writing the project as well as executive producing.
