Nyle DiMarco

Nyle DiMarco, the Dancing With The Stars and Americaโ€™s Next Top Model star and actor, has reportedly inked a deal to develop a new comedy series about a deaf man.

DiMarco, who is deaf in real life, will star (and serve as an executive producer) in the series about a โ€œcharismatic, smart deaf man in modern timesโ€ for Spectrum Originals.

โ€œThe episodes look to offer funny, character-based storytelling designed to provide a deeper perspective on the experiences of the deaf and hard of hearing communities in America.โ€

The series is being produced by Daniel Dae Kimโ€™s production company 3AD.

Along with his stints on reality TV, DiMarco has also acted in shows such as Difficult People and Station 19.

DiMarco tweeted his excitement:
