[M. Robert Gibson]

I've just discovered this little announcement on this Wiki page

It turns out this was announced several years ago.

Dan Harmon is bringing Kurt Vonnegut’s The Sirens Of Titan to TV

If he hadn’t recently confirmed the Rick And Morty season three premiere, the news that Dan Harmon‘s developing another TV series might have had led to a fan uprising (or, more likely, just angry tweets). Instead, we can feel excited and/or cautiously optimistic about the fact that Harmon’s...

Harmon, the man, can be quite tiresome - but his work on Community was top notch, and Monster House is a really well written kids movie. Rick and Morty is too bogged down with its own meta-ness to have maintained any quality past season 2. It's knowingness is tedious, now.

Vonnegut and Harmon share a similar tendency for dark tragedy and humour, so it could work.

Definitely up for this, could be good fun, been years since I read the book ...think it'd be deadly if it was done in a slightly wonky style (the attached clip goes a bit too far but would love to see something similar done to Vonnegut!

I loved Community and Rick and Morty, so i get the impression from both shows that Dan Harmon has a genuine love of Science Fiction. I have some faith.

It also helps that i have no exposure to the source materiel, so my risk is reduced.

Sounds promising to me. Rick and Morty was fine IMO, but it was saturating as well.
