On the set of Forever as Fred Armisen, MayaRudolph delve into 'haunting' roles
creators Alan Yang and Matt Hubbard are toying with how much to divulge about their top-secret Amazon show. "OK, we'll give up the ghost," says Hubbard after a few minutes of back-and-forth. "That's just it about the pair's half-hour dramedy: Stars Maya Rudolph and Fred Armisen are actually dead for most of it.
"The show in a larger sense is about these two people who are facing some difficulties in their marriage, but they are now thrust back together and are facing a life together that has literally no end because they're immortal," explains Hubbard.
"Taking the idea that we all have of marriage and turning it on its head and pointing it in the direction of the extreme is something I found really absurd and really funny," says Rudolph. She and longtime friend Armisen had been looking for a way to collaborate again, so they met with Yang and he came up with some pitches for them. Rudolph was sold at "You play a ghost." Armisen was drawn to the show's mysterious, haunting tone.
