Documentary Now! was co-created by Fred Armisen, Bill Hader, Seth Meyers and Rhys Thomas. It is executive produced by Lorne Michaels.

"After years of trying to start a cult of our own, we have happily outsourced the heavy lifting to the brilliant team behind Documentary Now! and they have, as always, delivered," IFC Original Programming SVP Christine Lubrano said in a statement. "Seeing these episodes have caused the IFC staff to zealously follow the teachings of Owen Wilson."

Keaton is also known for his roles in Spider-Man: Homecoming, Birdman, Spotlight, Batman, Johnny Dangerously and Mr. Mom.

Wilson's credits include the Zoolander and Night at the Museum movies, as well as The Royal Tenenbaums and The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou.
