May 11 (UPI) -- Peacock announced it has ordered the Untitled Jason Woliner Project straight to series. The Borat: Subsequent Moviefilm director has already begun working on the series.

The announcement reveals that Woliner has been filming for 10 years already. The show promises to combine fact and fiction like the Borat films do, and present "jaw-dropping new twists" along the way.
