NEW YORK (JTA) — Ben Stiller reportedly has signed on to direct, produce and star in an HBO original series about a Jewish family living in Washington, D.C., called “All Talk.”

The script is being written by Jonathan Safran Foer (author of “Everything is Illuminated” and “Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close”) and the series will co-star Alan Alda.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, the show is billed as “politically, religiously, culturally, intellectually and sexually irreverent.”

Scott Rudin and Eli Bush have been named executive producers of the show.

Shooting is set to begin in the fall.
