I don't make this stuff up -New HBO series


Its about a man with a big schlong called Hung

HBO has made a name for itself by producing groundbreaking series and now the cable network is once again set to make waves with its new show Hung, a dark comedy about a man with an exceptionally large penis and the trouble it gets him into.

Hung was created by Dmitry Lipkin and Colette Burson, the masterminds behind the critically acclaimed FX series The Riches, and will star film actor Thomas Jane. Alexander Payne who directed Election Day, About Schmidt and Sideways, also directed the pilot for Hung and will serve as executive producer on the series.

In the series Jane plays Ray, a well-endowed struggling high school basketball coach who figures out a way to use his best asset.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Lipkin and Burson's spec script for Hung was the first major purchase by the network's new entertainment president Sue Naegle in April; then it was her first pilot pickup and now her first series order. The turnaround on this spec has reportedly been one of the fastest in the history of Hollywood.

Hung is slated to begin production early next year.
