Adult Swim has ordered a new comedy pilot from comedian Rob Corddry, “The Hindenburg Explodes!” the network announced Tuesday. Corddry is the creator and star of “Childrens Hospital,” the Adult Swim comedy series that has won two Emmy awards for outstanding short-form live-action entertainment program.
A quarter-hour live-action pilot, “The Hindenburg Explodes” follows the unusual crew of passengers aboard the Hindenburg’s final voyage, a flight from Nazi Germany to New Jersey, where the airship exploded over a landing field. The pilot is created by Corddry (“Ballers”), Josh Perilo (“Wedlock”) and Jonathan Stern (“Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp”).
Corddry, Stern and Becca Kinskey serve as executive producers. The pilot is produced by Abominable Pictures.
