The pilot will air on _Adult Swim_ and feature Alexander as a famous psychotherapist who has a mental breakdown and starts using increasingly weird methods with his patients, [Deadline reports](http://deadline.com/2015/05/jason-alexander-star-in-new-comedy-pilot-adult-swim-1201425488/), but no one wants to question the treatments of an award-winning doctor. The show, still untitled, was created by Adam Lustick of _Silicon Valley_ and _The Office_. Alexander is best known for his nine-season run as George Costanza on _Seinfeld_.
