HBO is not moving forward with two Mike Judge comedies previously in the works, TheWrap has confirmed.
Both the adaptation of Marc-Uwe Kling’s novel “QualityLand” and the limited series “A5” were ordered back in 2019 but have been scrapped as Judge goes to work on a “Beavis and Butt-Head” revival at Comedy Central.
Set in the near future, “QualityLand” is described as “the story of humanity’s struggle against the tyranny of convenience. But it’s funny.” Judge was set to co-write the script with Josh Lieb, and the series was a co-production between HBO and Lionsgate.
“A5” was planned to center on a bioengineer who discovers the gene that makes a person an a–hole and attempts to discover if the condition can be cured.
Both series were picked up by the HBO as part of a two-year extension to Judge’s overall deal ahead of the final season of “Silicon Valley,...

Exclusive: HBO has opted not to proceed with comedy series Qualityland and limited comedy series A5, both from Mike Judge.
The premium cable network ordered the two shows as part of a new two-year overall deal the Silicon Valley co-creator signed with the premium cable network in early 2019.
Neither of the shows casting had gotten to a casting stage, and A5 was in early development, so it could potentially be redeveloped elsewhere.
Co-written and executive produced by Judge and Josh Lieb, Qualityland is based on the novel of the same name by Marc-Uwe Kling. Set in the very near future, it’s everything we have now, and more so. It’s the story of humanity’s struggle against the tyranny of convenience. But funny. HBO was to co-produce the series with Lionsgate. It is unclear whether the latter would shop the project elsewhere.
A5 was co-written by Judge and Etan Cohen.

The German company is bringing along a jam-packed market screening slate, including box-office hits, plus the upcoming projects by Peter Bebjak, Uberto Pasolini, Stefan Ruzowitzky and Leon Prudovsky. International sales agent Beta Cinema has announced its slate for the upcoming Virtual Marché du Film (22-26 June). Seven of its films will have market screenings, and eight upcoming projects will be available to tempt attending industry professionals looking to strike some deals. The company is bringing Dani Levy’s The Kangaroo Chronicles along for its market premiere. In it, struggling musician Marc-Uwe receives a visit from his neighbour – a talking kangaroo who’s asking for eggs. Being a staunch communist, the kangaroo doesn’t believe in private ownership and without further ado decides to move in with Marc-Uwe. The film is based on the radio comedy and the bestselling books and audiobooks by Marc-Uwe Kling, and was a hit at the German box.
Germany's cinema associations have set up an emergency fund to help theaters hit by the coronavirus shutdown, and the film that was number one in the German charts when the epidemic hit will be the first to fill the coffers.
The Kangaroo Chronicles, Dani Levy's adaptation of Marc-Uwe Kling's hit German book series, grossed more than $5 million in its initial release in Germany and had topped the box office charts two weeks running when Germany went into near-lockdown and theaters across the country were shuttered in an effort to stem the spread of Covid-19, the illness caused ...

HBO has signed Mike Judge to a new two-year deal, as part of which the Silicon Valley co-creator will take a look at what makes a person an asshole.
Most specifically, HBO has made a production commitment to A5, a live-action comedy centered on a bioengineer who discovers the gene that makes a person an asshole and attempts to answer the questions nagging at all of us: Why do assholes exist?
