Over the last month, Hollywood mogul Jeffrey Katzenberg has been signing some high-profile filmmakers to fill out the roster of talent that will create content for his upcoming Quibi streaming service. And it appears that his newest acquisition is none other than Doug Liman, who is set to bring a new superhero series to the service.

According to THR, Liman has signed on to direct “Crazy Talented,” a new short-form series that will debut on Quibi. For those not familiar with Quibi, the service differs from other streamers by focusing on mobile content consumption, with the films and TV series all being broken up into 10-minute chunks that will be easily watched while subscribers are out and about.

The official synopsis for the series reads:

“The world’s most powerful superheroes are trying to stop the world’s most devastating threat — alien weapons falling into the wrong hands and obliterating life as we know it. At least that’s what they’ve been told. In Crazy Talented, patients on a psych ward are convinced by a charismatic leader that their defects are actually extraordinary ‘talents.’ He’s clearly out of his mind. But just because it’s crazy doesn’t mean it isn’t true.”

Liman is working with writer Michael Karnow on the new series, which is based on a short story by “Jumper” author Steven Gould. The filmmaker is currently wrapping up production on the long-awaited film “Chaos Walking.”

As mentioned, Liman is just the latest name to sign on to create some exclusive content for Quibi. He joins filmmakers like Paul Feig, Steven Soderbergh, Antoine Fuqua, Steven Spielberg, and Peter Farrelly. Some of those names are creating series, while others are focusing on original films.
