As per Deadline:
What is it Stephen Mangan? You already starred in a Dirk Gently series that was quite good? Oh right, you did. But this could be good to or we could at least get more than four episodes out of it.
Dirk Gently, an adaptation of Douglas Adams (Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy) comic novel Dirk Gentlys Holistic Detective Agency, is an anthology series set in the unexpected world of the hyper, absurd, ridiculous Dirk Gently. With an utterly fresh, comically self-aware tone, this series is equally sincere in its danger, humor, violence and drama. Penned by Max Landis the mind behind Chronicle this series is produced by IDW, Circle of Confusion and Ideate for BBC America.
