The show follows a self-described “guru” named Chip (Arnett) who falls in love with his best friend’s crush. Arnett will also pen the comedy with co-creator Mark Chapell. Netflix ordered eight episodes of the comedy, which will begin streaming exclusively on the service in 2016\. “We’re very excited to partner with Netflix—the home of original, original content—and the network I knew would be the ideal home for this passion project,” the actor said in a statement. Arnett’s CBS show, _The Millers_, which also starred Margo Martindale and Beau Bridges, was [canceled](http://insidetv.ew.com/2014/11/14/cbs-cancels-the-millers/ "undefined") this year in its sophomore season. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3673802/will-arnett-netflix-flaked/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3673802/will-arnett-netflix-flaked/"},"headline":"New Will Arnett Comedy Picked Up by Netflix","datePublished":"2015-01-19T19:48:59.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T03:41:33.392Z","description":"Flaked will be the third Netflix comedy starring Arnett","url":"https://time.com/3673802/will-arnett-netflix-flaked/","keywords":["Television"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blte9660ec5d40f74a8/69877ab3a988ca36786abf92/461541954.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Eliana Dockterman","jobTitle":"Correspondent","url":"https://time.com/author/eliana-dockterman/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blte9660ec5d40f74a8/69877ab3a988ca36786abf92/461541954.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"The Weinstein Company And Netflix Golden Globes After Party - Arrivals","caption":"The Weinstein Company And Netflix Golden Globes After Party - Arrivals","creditText":"JB Lacroix—WireImage","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3673802/will-arnett-netflix-flaked/","name":"New Will Arnett Comedy Picked Up by Netflix"}}]}] ```
