If you don’t know Kid Fury, then now is the time to get acquainted with the 30-year-old pop culture personality that will read anyone for filth when they deserve it.

Kid Fury, who’s real name is Gregory A. Smith, is the co-host of the popular podcast The Read. Every week, he and Crissle West discuss all things that matter at the moment, and the cherry on top of their weekly broadcasts is putting someone on blast for ridiculous behavior, also known literally as the read.

According to Variety, Kid Fury is linking up with honorary Nigerian showrunner and producer Lena Waithe to bring us a dark comedy on HBO about a 20-something sarcastic gay black man navigating adulthood and responsibility in New York City while struggling to wrap his head around his undiagnosed clinical depression.

Lena Waithe will be one of several executive producers on the project, and Kid Fury will write and serve as an executive producer to the story. Lena expressed her excitement at being able to work with Kid Fury, also assuring us that a good amount of shade, something Kid Fury is known for, will be thrown throughout the half-hour series.

“Me+@KidFury = very specific cultural references, emotions, and a lot of shade,” she wrote on Twitter.

This untitled project is just one of several boss moves Lena has been making as of late. The 34-year-old is writing Queen and Slim, a film about a man and woman who’s first date goes left when they’re stopped by a cop, and they end up killing him in self-defense. Daniel Kaluuya will star, and Melina Matsoukas will direct.

She also secured a first-look deal with Showtime, which airs her acclaimed drama series The Chi. And she is an executive producer and writer of the upcoming series “Twenties” at TBS.

So, the pairing of Kid Fury and Lena Waithe makes sense. I can’t wait to see what these two rising stars cook up for our shady enjoyment.
