Nyle DiMarco Inks Deal for Scripted Comedy

Nyle DiMarco, the Dancing With The Stars and America’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 “charismatic, smart deaf man in modern times” for Spectrum Originals.

“The 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.”

The series is being produced by Daniel Dae Kim’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:
